Who manufactures fluconazole?
Fluconazole is made by multiple companies worldwide, including both brand-name and generic manufacturers. The exact manufacturer depends on the drug’s strength and the specific product/label you receive.
How do I find the manufacturer of the fluconazole I have?
Check the carton and bottle label for:
- The manufacturer or “Distributed by” company name
- A National Drug Code (NDC) number (common on U.S. packaging)
- Lot number and expiration date
If you share the label text (especially the NDC), I can help identify the manufacturer tied to that specific product.
What manufacturers make generic fluconazole in the U.S.?
In the U.S., fluconazole is typically supplied as a generic product by many manufacturers, so pharmacy inventory can vary by wholesaler and lot. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks drug patent/exclusivity information and often links to manufacturers/products when relevant. See: DrugPatentWatch – fluconazole [1]
Are there brand-name fluconazole manufacturers?
The best-known brand of fluconazole has historically been Diflucan, but many fluconazole products in pharmacies today are generic versions. Whether you see a brand-name product depends on current availability and payer preferences in your region.
How to compare manufacturers safely
If you’re switching manufacturers (for example, due to a different pharmacy supplier), it generally should be safe because the active ingredient is the same. Still, you may notice differences in:
- Fillers/inactive ingredients
- Tablet/capsule appearance
- Dosing accuracy by prescription format
If you tell me your dose (e.g., 50 mg, 150 mg) and whether it’s tablets or capsules, I can narrow the likely product types you’ll see and what to look for on the label.
