About FLUCOS 150MG POWDER

FLUCOS 150MG POWDER is used to treat fungal skin infections. A fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the skin tissue. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness and scaling of the skin.

FLUCOS 150MG POWDER contains Fluconazole. It works by stopping an enzyme in fungi or yeast that is needed to make their cell membrane. This either kills the fungi or yeast or stops them from growing.

In some cases, FLUCOS 150MG POWDER can cause side effects such as itching, dryness, redness, and a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in FLUCOS 150MG POWDER. Let your doctor know if you have any other skin disorders or illnesses before starting FLUCOS 150MG POWDER. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting FLUCOS 150MG POWDER.
