AF 200 Tablet

AF 200 Tablet is an antifungal medicine that contains fluconazole 200 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the triazole class of antifungals and is used to treat certain yeast and fungal infections, including infections caused by Candida. Because AF 200 Tablet is a 200 mg strength, it is typically chosen when a clinician wants this exact dose rather than a lower-strength tablet.

How it works: Fluconazole in AF 200 Tablet works by blocking a fungal enzyme the germ needs to build its cell membrane. Without that membrane, the fungus cannot grow and spread, so the infection can clear over time.

AF 200 Tablet is a full-strength oral tablet, not a lower-dose starter tablet, so it is meant for people whose condition and treatment plan call for 200 mg fluconazole at a time. Since there are no lower or higher strengths of this brand in the current range, AF 200 Tablet fits standard treatment courses where the prescribed dose is 200 mg per tablet and the doctor decides how often it should be taken.

• Treatment of Candida infections
• Yeast infections of the mouth, throat, or esophagus
• Vaginal yeast infection, when prescribed

• Prevention of fungal infection in high-risk patients, when directed by a doctor

• Swallow AF 200 Tablet whole with a glass of water.

Each AF 200 Tablet provides 200 mg of fluconazole per tablet. Depending on the infection, your doctor may prescribe one tablet daily, a single dose, or another interval; the maximum amount per day should follow your prescriber’s instructions because dosing is based on the infection being treated and your medical history.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
