Zocon 400 mg Tablet

Zocon 400 mg Tablet is an oral antifungal medicine that contains 400 mg of fluconazole in each tablet. It belongs to the azole class and is used to treat or prevent certain fungal infections, including yeast infections and more serious fungal infections when prescribed. This Zocon 400 mg Tablet is a higher-strength form, so it is typically chosen when a clinician needs a larger fluconazole dose for a specific infection or prevention plan.

How it works: Fluconazole works by blocking a fungal enzyme needed to make ergosterol, an important part of the fungal cell membrane. Without that protective membrane, the fungus cannot grow normally and gradually dies off, and the tablet form delivers the medicine through the digestive tract after swallowing.

Zocon 400 mg Tablet contains more fluconazole than the Zocon 150 mg Tablet and Zocon 200 mg Tablet, so it is not the usual low-dose tablet people take for a simple one-time yeast infection. A doctor may choose this higher-strength Zocon 400 mg Tablet for infections that need more medicine at once, or for patients who need a planned antifungal dose based on their condition, weight, kidney function, and treatment goal.

• Vaginal yeast infection
• Oral thrush
• Esophageal candidiasis
• Certain systemic Candida infections
• Prevention of fungal infection in high-risk patients

• Swallow the Zocon 400 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly on the schedule your prescriber gives you; this strength is not meant to be adjusted on your own.
• It can usually be taken with or without food.
• If you are told to take it on an empty stomach or at a specific time, follow that plan closely.
• Do not take extra tablets to speed up recovery; higher fluconazole doses can raise the risk of side effects.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose.

Each Zocon 400 mg Tablet provides 400 mg of fluconazole per tablet, which is a higher-strength dose than the 150 mg and 200 mg tablets. Depending on the infection, it may be taken once, daily, or on another schedule, but the maximum number of tablets per day and the total daily dose must be decided by the doctor. Use this strength only as prescribed, because the correct dose depends on the type of fungal infection and your individual health factors.

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