Prevention of fungal infections in patients with weakened immune systems

Syscan 100mg Cap (Fluconazole) is an antifungal medication that works by interfering with the production of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting the cell membrane, fluconazole prevents the fungus from growing and multiplying.

Store fluconazole at room temperature, between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F), away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

The dosage of fluconazole will vary depending on the type of fungal infection being treated and your individual medical history. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and frequency of administration.

Fluconazole is typically taken by mouth as a tablet or capsule, but it can also be administered intravenously (by injection) in some cases.

Common side effects include:

Headache

Nausea

Vomiting

Abdominal pain
