Canex 50 mg Tablet DT

Canex 50 mg Tablet DT is an antifungal medicine that contains fluconazole 50 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the triazole class of antifungals and is used to treat certain fungal and yeast infections. This can include infections of the mouth, throat, esophagus, vagina, skin, and other areas when fluconazole is the right choice. Canex 50 mg Tablet DT is taken by mouth and is prescribed based on the type and severity of infection.

How it works: Fluconazole works by blocking a fungus from making ergosterol, an important substance it needs to build its cell membrane. Without that protection, the fungus cannot grow properly and gradually dies off, and the tablet form provides this medicine systemically after swallowing.

Canex 50 mg Tablet DT is a lower-strength fluconazole tablet, which can be useful when a doctor wants a smaller dose for maintenance therapy, mild infection, or step-down treatment after a higher initial dose. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 50 mg tablet fits standard fluconazole dosing that may be taken repeatedly over days or weeks rather than as a one-time high dose.

• Esophageal candidiasis
