FORCAN 200 MG – 4 TABLETS

Description

FORCAN 200 MG contains Fluconazole, a powerful antifungal agent. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane, thereby disrupting cell function and leading to the death of the fungus. FORCAN 200 MG is used to treat various fungal infections, including candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and certain types of ringworm. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it suitable for treating both systemic and localized fungal infections.

Usage Instructions:
Dosage: Follow the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider. Typical dosing may vary based on the type and severity of the infection.
Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food.
Consistency: For best results, take FORCAN 200 MG at the same time each day.
Medicinal Advantages:
Broad-Spectrum Activity: Effective against a wide range of fungal infections, including those resistant to other treatments.
Systemic and Localized Treatment: Suitable for treating both systemic fungal infections and localized conditions.
Well-Tolerated: Generally well-tolerated with a manageable side effect profile.
Mechanism of Action:
FORCAN 200 MG contains Fluconazole, which works by inhibiting the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase. This enzyme is crucial for the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. By disrupting ergosterol production, Fluconazole compromises the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell death and resolution of the infection.

Off-Label Uses:
FORCAN 200 MG may be used off-label for other fungal infections or conditions as determined by your healthcare provider. Consult with your healthcare provider for guidance on off-label uses.

Use FORCAN 200 MG as directed by your healthcare provider. Complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication. Regular follow-ups are important to monitor progress and ensure the infection is fully resolved.

Kidney Function: Monitor kidney function regularly, as Fluconazole can affect renal health. Report any symptoms of kidney issues, such as changes in urination.
Drug Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider of all other medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Discuss with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as Fluconazole may not be recommended during these times.
