What is Fluconazole?
Active Ingredients: Fluconazole
Fluconazole Injection is an antifungal drug used to treat fungal infections, such as Cryptococcal meningitis, Coccidioidomycosis, invasive candidiasis, mucosal candidiasis, and chronic oral atrophic candidiasis. This medication is used as a prophylaxis in patients with a high risk of recurrence of certain infections.
Fluconazole Injection is indicated for the treatment or prevention of some fungal infections for newborns, children, and adolescents, from 0 to 17 years of age.
Fluconazole belongs to a class of drugs known as azole antifungals. It is in the subgroup triazole, which are indicated to treat systemic infections. It works by stopping the fungi from producing ergosterol, an essential substance for the fungal cell membrane.
This injection has been manufactured as a sterile, single-dose container for intravenous administration.
