Lucan-R Capsule 50 mg contains Fluconazole, a potent antifungal medication from the azole class. It is widely used to treat a variety of fungal infections, including those affecting the mouth, throat, esophagus, urinary tract, and other parts of the body. Fluconazole works by stopping the growth of fungi and preventing the spread of infection.

Lucan-R Capsule is effective against infections caused by Candida species and other susceptible fungi, offering reliable antifungal therapy in a convenient capsule form.

Composition

Each capsule contains:

• Fluconazole 50 mg

Mechanism of Action

Fluconazole inhibits the enzyme lanosterol 14-α-demethylase, which is essential for the production of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes.

Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak and leaky, causing cell death. This selective mechanism ensures effective fungal control with minimal effect on human cells.

Indications

Lucan-R Capsule 50 mg is indicated for the treatment of:

• Oropharyngeal and esophageal candidiasis

• Vaginal candidiasis

• Urinary tract fungal infections

• Systemic fungal infections caused by susceptible fungi

• Prevention of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, such as those undergoing chemotherapy or organ transplantation

Physicians may prescribe Lucan-R Capsule for other fungal infections based on clinical assessment.

Dosage and Administration

• Swallow the capsule whole with water

• Can be taken with or without food

• Dosage and duration depend on the type, severity, and location of infection, as well as patient condition

• Always complete the full course prescribed, even if symptoms improve early

Typical adult dosing for mild infections may start at 50–100 mg once daily, but exact dosing should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Before taking Lucan-R Capsule, inform your doctor if you:

• Have liver or kidney problems

• Are taking medications such as warfarin, phenytoin, or certain antidiabetic drugs

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
