Flucos DT 50 Tablet

Flucos DT 50 Tablet is an oral antifungal medicine that contains fluconazole 50 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the triazole class and is used to treat certain fungal and yeast infections when a doctor decides this tablet strength is appropriate. Flucos DT 50 Tablet is taken by mouth and may be used for infections in different parts of the body, depending on the diagnosis. The 50 mg strength is lower than Flucos 150 Tablet and Flucos 200 Tablet, so it can be useful when a smaller, more adjustable dose is needed.

How it works: Fluconazole works by blocking a substance fungi need to build their cell membrane, which stops the fungus from growing and spreading. Because Flucos DT 50 Tablet is a swallowed tablet, it delivers fluconazole into the bloodstream to act throughout the body against susceptible yeast and fungal infections.

Flucos DT 50 Tablet provides fluconazole 50 mg per tablet, which is a lower-strength option compared with the 150 mg and 200 mg tablets. Doctors may choose Flucos DT 50 Tablet when they want finer dose adjustment, repeated daily dosing, or a lower dose that better fits the infection being treated.

Each Flucos DT 50 Tablet contains fluconazole 50 mg.
