Zocon 200 mg Tablet

Zocon 200 mg Tablet is an oral antifungal medicine that contains 200 mg of fluconazole in each tablet. It belongs to the triazole class of antifungals and is used to treat certain fungal and yeast infections, including infections that can affect the mouth, throat, skin, genitals, and some more serious internal sites. Zocon 200 mg Tablet is a prescription-strength product from FDC, India, and should be used only when a clinician has chosen this exact dose for your infection.

How it works: Fluconazole works by blocking a fungal enzyme needed to make ergosterol, an important part of the fungus cell membrane. When taken as Zocon 200 mg Tablet, this helps weaken and stop the growth of the fungus so the infection can clear.

Zocon 200 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet than Zocon 150 mg Tablet, so it is not the same as the lower single-dose option used for some uncomplicated infections. A doctor may choose Zocon 200 mg Tablet when a 200 mg dose is appropriate for the infection, when repeat dosing is needed, or when a treatment plan is being tailored to the person’s weight, site of infection, and response. Compared with Zocon 400 mg Tablet, this strength offers a smaller dose that may be better suited to moderate treatment plans rather than higher-intensity regimens.

• Swallow Zocon 200 mg Tablet whole with water unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• You may take it with or without food; taking it with food can help if it upsets your stomach.
• Take it at the exact time and for the exact number of days your doctor prescribes, even if you feel better early.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor says it is okay for your specific dose.
• 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 Zocon 200 mg Tablet provides 200 mg of fluconazole per tablet. Depending on the infection, your doctor may prescribe it as a one-time dose, a dose taken once daily, or another schedule; the maximum amount per day depends on the condition being treated and your medical history. Because this is a 200 mg strength, it is a higher-dose tablet than some commonly used lower strengths, so the prescriber—not the patient—should decide how often it is taken.

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