Zocon 150 Tablet contains fluconazole (150 mg), which works in the following ways on your body:

• Blocks Vital Enzyme: Fluconazole acts by blocking an enzyme called lanosterol 14α-demethylase in fungal cells. This enzyme is essential for producing ergosterol, a crucial component of their cell membrane.

• Disrupts Cell Membrane: By inhibiting this enzyme, fluconazole interferes with the production of ergosterol. This disruption leads to an increase in cell membrane permeability and leakage of cellular contents.

• Causes Cell Death: The interruption in the integrity and functioning of the fungal cell membrane ultimately results in cell death. This mechanism makes fluconazole particularly effective against Candida species responsible for many fungal infections.

• Store Zocon 150 Tablet in a cool, dry place.

• The ideal storage temperature is below 30°C.

• Protect the medicine from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Keep it out of reach of children.
