Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Inhibits fungal cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase, blocking ergosterol synthesis and disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity.
Vancomycin inhibits cell wall synthesis by binding to the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminus of peptidoglycan precursors, preventing cross-linking.
Intravaginal administration: 100 mg (one applicatorful of 2% cream) once daily for 3 days; or 100 mg (one suppository) once daily for 3 days; or 5 g (one applicatorful of 4% cream) as a single dose.
500-1000 mg orally every 12 hours or 250 mg every 6 hours.

Terminal half-life is approximately 21–24 hours, supporting once-daily or twice-weekly dosing for vaginal candidiasis.
Terminal elimination half-life: 8-12 hours in patients with normal renal function; prolonged to 20-40 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min), necessitating dose adjustment.
Primarily hepatic metabolism with <5% excreted unchanged in urine; fecal elimination accounts for ~30% of metabolites.
Renal (unchanged): 30-50% within 24 hours; Biliary/fecal: 15-25% as metabolites; remainder undergoes hepatic metabolism.
