Astoconazole 200mg Tablet 1 contains fluconazole (200 mg), which acts on your body as follows:

• Inhibits Lanosterol 14-α-demethylase: Fluconazole works by blocking a fungal enzyme called lanosterol 14-α-demethylase. This enzyme is instrumental in converting lanosterol into ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane.

• Increases Cellular Permeability: By disrupting the production of ergosterol, fluconazole increases cellular permeability, which leads to leakage of cellular contents.

• Inhibition of Fungal Cell Growth: The increased cellular permeability inhibits fungal cell growth and replication.

• Keep Astoconazole 200mg Tablet 1 at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C.

• Protect it from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Ensure the medicine is out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
