About Flunise 150 Tablet

Flunise 150 Tablet belongs to the class of medicines called 'antifungals' used to treat a broad range of infections caused due to 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.

Flunise 150 Tablet contains ‘Fluconazole’ that kills or prevents fungi or yeast by inhibiting an enzyme in fungi responsible for its normal fat metabolism, which interferes with the formation of the fungal cell membrane. As a result, fungal or yeast cells get killed or their growth is minimized.

Take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Flunise 150 Tablet has common side effects like headache, diarrhoea, nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, stomach pain, and altered food tastes.
