Flumet 400 mg Tablet

Flumet 400 mg Tablet is an oral antifungal medicine containing 400 mg of fluconazole in each tablet. It belongs to the triazole antifungal class and is used to treat certain fungal and yeast infections. Because this is a high-strength tablet, Flumet 400 mg Tablet is typically chosen when a doctor needs a larger fluconazole dose for a specific infection or treatment plan. It should be used only as prescribed.

How it works: Fluconazole works by blocking a fungal enzyme the organism needs to make ergosterol, which is an important part of its cell membrane. In tablet form, Flumet 400 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body so the medicine can travel through the bloodstream to help stop fungal growth.

Flumet 400 mg Tablet is a higher-strength option compared with Flumet 150 mg Tablet, so it is not the usual starting tablet for many common yeast infections. A doctor may choose Flumet 400 mg Tablet when a larger dose is needed, when treatment is being given for a more serious infection, or when a specific dosing schedule is required. The effect may start within the expected fluconazole timeline, but the tablet’s role is to deliver a bigger prescribed dose rather than to work differently from lower strengths.

• Certain yeast infections
• Some fungal infections
• Doctor-directed treatment of Candida infections
• Treatment of infections in the mouth, throat, or other sites when prescribed
• Prevention of fungal infection in selected patients

• Swallow Flumet 400 mg Tablet whole with water unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the time and frequency your doctor prescribes; this 400 mg tablet is not a routine over-the-counter dose.
• You may take it with or without food, since food does not usually stop fluconazole from working.
• Do not split, crush, or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or prescriber says it is okay.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up without medical advice.

Each Flumet 400 mg Tablet provides 400 mg of fluconazole per tablet. Depending on the infection and your medical history, it may be taken as a one-time dose, once daily, or on another schedule that your doctor selects; there is no single standard maximum daily dose for all uses because fluconazole dosing is condition-specific. Because this is a high-strength tablet, the exact dose and length of treatment must be decided by a clinician.

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