Flucos 200 Tablet

Flucos 200 Tablet is an antifungal medicine that contains fluconazole 200 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the triazole class and is used to treat certain fungal and yeast infections, including infections in the mouth, throat, esophagus, vagina, skin, and some internal infections when prescribed. Flucos 200 Tablet is taken by mouth and is used when a doctor needs a stronger fluconazole dose than lower-strength tablets.

How it works: Fluconazole works by stopping fungi and yeast from making a substance called ergosterol, which they need to build their cell membranes. In tablet form, Flucos 200 Tablet is swallowed so the medicine can be absorbed into the bloodstream and reach the infection site throughout the body.

Flucos 200 Tablet is a higher-strength fluconazole tablet compared with Flucos 150 Tablet and Flucos DT 50 Tablet, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants a 200 mg dose in a single tablet. Because it delivers more medicine per tablet, it may be more convenient for certain treatment plans, but it is not meant to replace a lower strength without medical advice. The right strength depends on the type of infection, its severity, and how the patient responds.

• Vaginal yeast infection
• Oral thrush
• Esophageal candidiasis

• Systemic Candida infections when prescribed

• Swallow Flucos 200 Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.

Each Flucos 200 Tablet provides fluconazole 200 mg per tablet. Depending on the infection, it may be taken as a single dose or once daily for several days, but the exact schedule is decided by the prescriber. Do not take more than the prescribed amount in one day unless your doctor specifically instructs it.

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