Hello and thank you for turning to HCM for your health issues!
Undoubtedly you are talking about Fluconazole, one of several anti fungal drugs available. Whereas lamisil i another type of anti fungal drugs. Both treatment are appropriate for the treatment of fungal infections, but they should be used only with doctor's advice!
Please note that fungal infections are sometimes hard to be eradicated and therefore maybe you will need to repeat the treatment, always in close consultation with your doctor!
I wish you good luck and quick recovery!
