Indications:
Fantizole is used to treat fungal infections,
including yeast infections of the vagina, mouth,
throat, oesophagus (tube leading from the mouth to
the stomach), abdomen (area between the chest and
waist), lungs, blood, and other organs. Fantizole is
also used to treat meningitis (infection of the
membranes covering the brain and spine ) caused by
fungus.
Description:
As with all azole antifungal agents, fluconazole
works principally by inhibition of cytochrome P450
14a-demethylase (P45014DM). This enzyme is in the
sterol biosynthesis pathway that leads from
lanosterol to ergosterol.
Fluconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis in the
cell wall of yeast and other fungi.
In Candida albicans, fluconazole may also inhibit
the transformation of blastospores into the invasive
mycelial form. Fluconazole is absorbed quickly after
oral administration and is widely distributed
Side-Effects
Fluconazole is generally quite well tolerated. In
common with all azole antifungal agents, fluconazole
may cause hepatotoxicity.
Dosage:
As per the physician’s advice.
