Fungicyte 150mg

Fungicyte contains Fluconazole at 150mg per tablet, an effective antifungal medication used in treating and preventing numerous types of fungal and yeast infections. The use of Fluconazole in a clinical setting spans many years, and the effectiveness of treating infections that are caused by certain types of fungi (i.e. Candida species) has also been demonstrated in clinical practice.

Fungicyte works by acting on the cell wall membrane of the fungus itself, which inhibits the growth of the fungus and allows the body to naturally rid itself of the infection. Referring to oral administration as a therapeutic option is preferred when compared with topically applied therapies.

What Is Fungicyte 150mg Tablet?

Fungicyte 150mg Tablet belongs to the triazole antifungal drug class and is an oral antifungal medication that contains Fluconazole as its active ingredient. Fluconazole works by inhibiting the growth of certain fungi causing infections in humans, such as ringworm, thrush, and candidiasis. Healthcare professionals prescribe Fungicyte primarily for treating fungal infections located on the skin, mouth, throat and genital area but Fungicyte can also treat other forms of fungal infection.

Fungicyte can be absorbed into your blood stream so it can reach all parts of your body to attack fungal infection systemically.

How Does Fungicyte 150mg Work?

Fungicyte 150mg inhibits ergosterol production and causes (inhibits) fungi from producing ergosterol, an important part of the cell membrane for the fungi’s cell wall.

Without adequate ergosterol:

• Fungal cell membranes become unstable.
• Fungal growth is inhibited.
• The fungus loses its ability to multiply.
• The infection gradually clears from the body.

This specific mechanism will alleviate symptoms while eliminating the infection itself.
