Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Forcan is having fluconazole.
It is broad spectrum antifungal drug.
It is effective against fungal species like candida, vaginal yeast etc.
Candida is the most common fungus infecting esophagus (food pipe). So Forcan (fluconazole) is equally effective in your case.
So take Forcan as advised by your doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
