-
Fluconazole 50 mg
Category:
Antifungal / Antimycotic
Product Description:
Zocon 50 DT Tablet is a prescription antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections. It contains Fluconazole, a potent antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to the death of the fungal cell.
Indications / Uses:
-
Oral and Vaginal Candidiasis (Yeast infections)
-
Cryptococcal Meningitis (Fungal infection of the brain)
-
Candidemia (Fungal infection in the bloodstream)
-
Coccidioidomycosis (Fungal lung infection)
-
Mucosal Thrush (Infection affecting the lining of the mouth and throat)
-
Genital Thrush (Infection of the vagina or penis)
-
Skin Fungal Infections (e.g., athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, nail infections)
Mechanism of Action:
Fluconazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol by blocking the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase. This leads to a defective fungal cell membrane, impairing its integrity and function, ultimately causing fungal cell death.
