VORAZE 200MG VIAL injection belongs to the class of medicines known as 'antifungals' used to treat a broad range of fungal infections. A fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects any body part, including the mouth, throat, oesophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area and blood.

VORAZE 200MG VIAL injection contains 'Voriconazole' that kills or prevents fungus by inhibiting an enzyme in fungi responsible for its normal fat metabolism, thereby interfering with the fungal cell membrane formation. As a result, fungal cells get killed, or their growth is minimized.

• Do not scratch the affected skin, as it can spread the infection to other body parts.
• Avoid sharing towels, combs, bedsheets, shoes or socks with others.
• Wash your bedsheets and towels regularly.
• It is advisable to follow a candida diet during fungal infections. This diet excludes sugar, gluten, certain dairy products, and alcohol.

Fungal infections: Fungal infection occurs when a fungus enters, infects and multiplies in the body. Fungi can live in water, soil, air and plants. Fungi affect any body part, including the mouth, throat, oesophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area and blood. Mild fungal skin infections are common and can cause rashes. Fungal infections affecting body organs like the lungs can cause flu or tuberculosis. Some fungal diseases like cryptococcal meningitis and blood infections can be fatal. A few common fungal infections are yeast infections that affect the genital area, oesophagus and urinary tract caused by Candida.
