About Curefall Tablet

Curefall Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called antifungals indicated to treat various systemic fungal infections such as blastomycosis (infection caused by Blastomyces fungus), chromomycosis (chronic infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue), Coccidioidomycosis (infection caused by Coccidioides fungus), paracoccidioidomycosis (infection caused by Paracoccidioides fungus) and histoplasmosis (lung infection caused by Histoplasma fungus). It is used only when other effective antifungal therapies are not available or tolerated and if potential benefits outweigh potential risks.

Curefall Tablet contains Ketoconazole which works by destroying fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, kills fungi and treats the fungal infection.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Systemic fungal infections are fungal infections that affect internal organs. The fungus lives in the environment, particularly in moist soil and in decomposing organic matter such as leaves and wood. Fungi enter the body via the paranasal sinuses, gut, lungs, or skin, and may spread to other organs. If these infections are not treated with appropriate therapy or if treatment is delayed, it may lead to medical emergencies. The symptoms of systemic fungal infection in people with normal immune function include cough, fever, or loss of appetite. It can also affect people who are immune compromised.
