Flunac Capsule 50 mg contains Fluconazole, a potent antifungal agent from the triazole class, used to treat and prevent fungal infections in the body. It is particularly effective against Candida species, Cryptococcus, and other susceptible fungi. Fluconazole works by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak and leaky, leading to cell death and the resolution of the infection.

Flunac Capsule is highly bioavailable, well-tolerated, and can be administered orally, making it a convenient option for treating systemic and localized fungal infections. Its ability to penetrate tissues and body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluid, makes it effective for systemic mycoses as well as mucosal infections.
