About Flukocel Infusion 100 ml

Flukocel Infusion 100 ml belongs to the class of medicines called 'antifungals' used to treat a broad range of infections caused by fungi and yeast. A fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects any part of the body, including the mouth, throat, oesophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and blood.

Flukocel Infusion 100 ml contains ‘Fluconazole’ that kills or prevents fungi or yeast growth by inhibiting an enzyme responsible for its normal fat metabolism. This interferes with the formation of the fungal cell membrane. As a result, fungal or yeast cells get killed or their growth is minimized.

Flukocel Infusion 100 ml may cause common side effects like headache, diarrhoea, nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, stomach pain, and altered food tastes. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Flukocel Infusion 100 ml. Let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems before starting Flukocel Infusion 100 ml. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Flukocel Infusion 100 ml. It is advised to avoid alcohol intake while using Flukocel Infusion 100 ml to prevent any undesirable effects.
