Difliuzol (fluconazole) Capsules 0.1g. #7
What is Difliuzol (fluconazole) Capsules?
Difliuzol is a medication that comes in the form of capsules containing 0.1g of fluconazole. It is commonly prescribed to treat fungal infections, such as yeast infections, in various parts of the body. The product comes in a package of 7 capsules, each designed for oral administration.
How Does Difliuzol Work?
Fluconazole, the active ingredient in Difliuzol, works by stopping the growth of certain types of fungi. It does this by interfering with the production of a substance called ergosterol, which is essential for the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cells become weakened and eventually die off, leading to the resolution of the infection.
Indications for Use
Difliuzol capsules are commonly used to treat a variety of fungal infections, including:
- Vaginal yeast infections
- Oral thrush
- Esophageal candidiasis
- Fungal skin infections
It is important to note that Difliuzol should only be used as directed by a healthcare provider and should not be used to treat infections caused by bacteria or viruses.
How to Take Difliuzol Capsules
It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when taking Difliuzol capsules. The typical dosing regimen for most fungal infections is 150 mg. to 450 mg. as a single dose, depending on the severity of the infection. The capsules should be taken orally with a full glass of water.
It is important to take the full course of medication as prescribed, even if you start to feel better before you finish all the capsules. Stopping the medication prematurely can lead to the recurrence of the infection.
