Itraconazole can be used to treat various superficial fungal infections, including the dermatophytoses, pityriasis versicolor, and mucosal and cutaneous forms of candidosis. It is also effective in patients with subcutaneous infections, such as chromoblastomycosis, sporotrichosis and certain forms of phaeohyphomycosis.

Unlike itraconazole and ketoconazole, absorption of fluconazole is not reduced if it is given together with drugs that reduce gastric acid secretion. Concomitant administration of fluconazole and rifampicin has resulted in a modest reduction in blood levels of the antifungal agent. The effect is less marked than with itraconazole or ketoconazole and is due to induction of P-450 cytochrome oxidases by rifampicin with resulting enhanced hepatic metabolism of the azole drug. Like rifampicin, phenytoin undergoes cytochrome P-450-mediated hepatic metabolism and its concomitant administration with fluconazole may reduce its clearance.

Fluconazole belongs to the class of medicines called triazole derivatives, which are used to treat a variety yeast and other fungal infections (Candida and cryptococci), particularly those affecting the mouth, throat, lungs, urinary tract, blood and other organs. Fluconazole is also used to prevent fungal infections from occurring in people whose healthy defences against illness and infection are lessened (a suppressed immune system). It works by slowing the growth of fungi that cause infection.
