Description
Fluka 150 Capsule is an antifungal medicine used to treat fungal infections in various parts of the body, including the skin, blood, urinary tract, mouth, and throat. It contains fluconazole, which works by inhibiting the growth of fungal cells and ultimately killing them, helping to clear the infection effectively.
This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage and duration will depend on the type and severity of the infection. You can take Fluka 150 Capsule with meals to reduce the chances of stomach upset and improve tolerance.
It is crucial to complete the full course of treatment, even if you start feeling better. Stopping the medicine prematurely can result in incomplete removal of the infection, increasing the risk of recurrence or worsening of the fungal infection.
Fluka 150 Capsule is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Also, discuss your complete medical history and any other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
Following your doctor’s instructions, taking the medicine consistently, and monitoring for side effects can help ensure effective treatment of fungal infections. If you experience persistent symptoms or adverse effects, contact your doctor promptly for guidance.
