Ingredients:
Each capsule contains 200 mg of fluconazole.
Mechanism of Action:
Fluconazole, the active ingredient in fluconazol forte capsules, is a potent antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to the death of the fungal cells, effectively treating the infection.
Pharmacological Properties:
Fluconazole exerts its antifungal effects by disrupting the fungal cell membrane integrity, leading to cell death. It is a triazole antifungal agent with broad-spectrum activity against various fungal pathogens.
Indications for Use:
Fluconazol forte capsules are indicated for the treatment of fungal infections including vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush, esophageal candidiasis, and cryptococcal meningitis.
Contraindications:
Do not use fluconazol forte capsules if you are allergic to fluconazole or other azole antifungal drugs. Caution is advised in patients with known hypersensitivity reactions to azole antifungals.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of fluconazol forte capsules may include nausea, headache, and abdominal pain. In case of severe adverse reactions, immediate medical attention is recommended.

The usual dosage is one capsule daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush or chew the capsule.
Benefits Compared to Analogues:
Fluconazol forte capsules offer the advantage of once-daily dosing and have demonstrated comparable efficacy to other antifungal agents in clinical trials. The targeted pharmacological action of fluconazole minimizes adverse effects on human cells, enhancing treatment tolerability.
Suitable Patient Groups:
Fluconazol forte capsules are suitable for adult patients, including the elderly, for the treatment of fungal infections. Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on the use of this medication in specific patient populations such as children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers.
