Composition Details
Fluconazole 150mg
Description & Effects
ALICON-150 contains Fluconazole 150 mg, a widely used antifungal medication that effectively treats fungal infections by targeting and disrupting the protective cell membrane of the fungus, leading to its death. It is commonly prescribed for treating infections caused by Candida and Cryptococcus species, including vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush, skin infections, urinary tract fungal infections, and systemic fungal infections in more serious cases.Fluconazole works by inhibiting an enzyme essential for fungal cell membrane synthesis called lanosterol 14α-demethylase, a key step in producing ergosterol—a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the membrane becomes unstable, causing the contents of the cell to leak and ultimately leading to fungal cell death.
ALICON-150 is typically given as a single-dose oral tablet for uncomplicated infections, such as vaginal candidiasis, making it convenient and easy to use. For more severe or persistent infections, prolonged dosing may be required, as directed by a healthcare provider.
The medicine is usually well tolerated, but some individuals may experience mild side effects like nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort, or rash. It is important to use ALICON-150 exactly as prescribed and complete the full course to ensure complete eradication of the infection and prevent recurrence.
