Syscan 150 Capsule

Syscan 150 Capsule is an oral antifungal medicine that contains fluconazole 150 mg in each capsule. It belongs to the triazole antifungal class and is used to treat certain fungal and yeast infections, including some Candida infections and other infections your doctor may diagnose. Syscan 150 Capsule is a prescription-strength product from Torrent Pharmaceuticals, India, and the exact treatment depends on the type and location of the infection.

How it works: Fluconazole works by blocking a fungal enzyme the organism needs to build its cell membrane, which stops the fungus from growing and spreading. In capsule form, Syscan 150 Capsule is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract, then the medicine travels through the bloodstream to help treat the infection.

Syscan 150 Capsule is a higher single-dose strength, so it is often chosen when a doctor wants a convenient once-in-a-dose option rather than several smaller capsules. Because this is the 150 mg capsule, it is not meant for casual use or self-diagnosis; the right schedule depends on the infection being treated and the prescriber’s plan.

• Vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis)
• Oral thrush, when prescribed
• Certain Candida skin or mucosal infections
• Other fungal infections prescribed by a clinician

• Swallow Syscan 150 Capsule whole with water; do not open, crush, or chew it.
• You may take it with or without food.
• Take it exactly on the schedule your doctor prescribes; some infections use a single dose, while others need repeated doses.
• If your doctor gives a one-time dose, take it at the time instructed and do not repeat it unless told to.
• If you miss a dose on a multi-dose schedule, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose.
• Do not use this capsule for a different infection or share it with anyone else.

Each Syscan 150 Capsule provides 150 mg of fluconazole per capsule. Depending on the infection, a doctor may prescribe it as a single dose or once daily for a set period; the exact schedule is based on the diagnosis, your kidney function, and other medicines you take. Do not take more than the amount prescribed, and do not assume 150 mg is the right dose for every fungal infection.

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

• Fluconazole can interact with many medicines, so review all prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and supplements with your clinician.
