Flunac Capsule 150 mg contains Fluconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent from the triazole class. It is widely used for the treatment and prevention of various fungal infections, including those caused by Candida species and other susceptible fungi. Fluconazole works by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, a critical component of the fungal cell membrane. Disruption of ergosterol production weakens the fungal cell membrane, causing cell death and resolution of infection.

Flunac Capsule 150 mg is particularly effective for vaginal yeast infections, systemic candidiasis, and other mucosal or skin fungal infections. Its high oral bioavailability allows for convenient dosing, and it penetrates well into tissues and body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluid, making it suitable for both localized and systemic infections.
