Diflucan, a brand of fluconazole, is an anti-fungal antibiotic used primarily in the treatment of fungal infections caused by Candida, also known as yeast infections. This includes vaginal, oral, and esophageal infections. It also helps in the prevention of fungal infection in those with weak immune systems, including those who have experienced bone marrow transplants, have received cancer treatment, or suffer from diseases like AIDS.^[1]

Diflucan samples are typically only available through a patient's doctor or healthcare provider. Pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, Inc. provide doctors with free samples of new and existing medications like Diflucan to give to their patients.

How to Get Diflucan Samples

Typically, the only way to get free Diflucan samples is by consulting with a doctor or healthcare provider. Since Diflucan is a prescription drug, consumers cannot expect the manufacturer to send it directly to them. Most pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Inc., provide free samples of their new and existing medications to doctors and healthcare facilities. If a patient's doctor does not already have Diflucan samples on hand, they may be able to order them directly from Pfizer.

Additional savings may be available in the form of patient assistance programs. Diflucan patient assistance is offered through Pfizer patient assistance programs, and may include free medication for up to a year for qualified patients. Pfizer offers assistance for Diflucan and other medications through Pfizer Helpful Answers.^[7] Pfizer programs that cover Diflucan include Connection to Care, Maintain and Pfizer Pfriends. Each of these programs has different qualifications regarding income, employment and insurance coverage.^[8] In addition, other non-Pfizer patient assistance programs and drug savings cards cover Pfizer medications. For example, the Together Rx discount card provides savings on Diflucan.^[9]
