Fluconazole 150mg Capsule (Thrush Treatment - Generic Diflucan) vs Clotrimazole 500mg Pessary (Vaginal Thrush Treatment)
The same job by two routes. Fluconazole is one capsule swallowed, which is simpler but reaches the whole body; the clotrimazole pessary treats only where it is inserted, which is why it is the option used in pregnancy.

Common questions
