Managing the Side Effects:

This tablet contains fluconazole (200 mg) that works in the following way:

Inhibits Cytochrome P450 Enzyme 14α-demethylase: Fluconazole works by blocking an enzyme in your body called cytochrome P450 enzyme 14α-demethylase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the synthesis of ergosterol, an important component of the fungal cell membrane.
Disrupts Ergosterol Synthesis: By blocking this enzyme, fluconazole disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol. This action increases cellular permeability, which leads to leakage of cellular contents and, therefore, inhibits fungal growth.
