Description

Fluka-150 Tablets are formulated with Fluconazole, a triazole antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. It is commonly used to treat infections such as:

Vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis)
Oral and esophageal thrush
Systemic fungal infections

Fluconazole works by interfering with the fungal cell membrane, leading to the death of the fungus. It is often prescribed as a single-dose treatment (150 mg) for uncomplicated vaginal candidiasis, while other infections may require longer treatment durations.

Due to its effectiveness and convenient dosing, Fluconazole is widely used in clinical practice.

Possible Side Effects

Mechanism of Action

Fluconazole works by inhibiting the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase.

This disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell damage and death of the fungus.
