Picasa 300mg Injection contains a medicine called posaconazole. It is a triazole antifungal agent and exerts its antifungal activity through the blockage of certain enzymes (P-450 dependent enzyme, sterol 14α-demethylase).

This results in the inhibition of fungal cell growth and cell death. Thus, it treats infections.
