Fluconazole (Generic Diflucan®)

Fluconazole is an oral antifungal medication that is used to treat vaginal yeast infections. This medication is also known as Diflucan®. This medication treats yeast infections, allowing symptoms to improve.

Fluconazole works by killing the fungus or yeast that causes an infection, effectively preventing its growth and treating the infection.

Request a prescription for fluconazole by completing an online health consultation to share important information about your symptoms, health history, and any medications you take. If you are an existing Nurx patient, you will log into your account to submit your request. A licensed medical provider will review your health information and prescribe oral fluconazole for you, if medically appropriate.

Your Nurx medical provider will send the prescription to a local pharmacy of your choice for pickup. You will pay for the medication at the pharmacy, either with insurance or out-of-pocket. If you have any questions about the price of the medication or copay, please contact the pharmacy. You’ll have on-demand access to message your Nurx medical provider with any questions for a full week.

Your online consultation with a Nurx medical provider for a fluconazole prescription costs $65, which you pay when you submit your request for care. This is not covered by insurance. The price of your medical consultation covers a medical provider licensed in your state evaluating your symptoms and health history and writing a prescription (if medically appropriate). It also includes one week of unlimited messaging with a medical provider about your yeast infection symptoms and treatment.
