Zocon DT 50 mg Tablet

Zocon DT 50 mg Tablet is an antifungal medicine that contains 50 mg of fluconazole in each tablet. It belongs to the azole class and is used to treat certain fungal and yeast infections, including infections of the mouth, throat, skin, and some internal areas when prescribed. Zocon DT 50 mg Tablet is an oral tablet made by FDC, India, and is typically used when a doctor wants a lower, more flexible fluconazole strength. It should be taken only for the condition your clinician has diagnosed.

How it works: Fluconazole works by blocking a substance fungi need to build their cell membrane, which weakens the fungus and stops it from growing. Because Zocon DT 50 mg Tablet is an oral tablet, it treats the infection from inside the body after you swallow it.

Zocon DT 50 mg Tablet is the lower of the two strengths listed for this brand, with Zocon DT 100 mg Tablet as the higher sibling strength. This 50 mg tablet may be chosen when a clinician wants a smaller dose, a slower step-up in treatment, or easier dose adjustment based on age, weight, infection type, or kidney function. It is not a separate type of medicine; it is the same fluconazole, just in a lower tablet strength.

• Take Zocon DT 50 mg Tablet by mouth with a glass of water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or split it unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• You may take it with or without food, as food does not usually stop fluconazole from working.
• Take it at the same time each day if you are prescribed repeated daily dosing.
• Finish the full course even if symptoms improve sooner, because stopping early can let the infection return.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Zocon DT 50 mg Tablet provides 50 mg of fluconazole. Depending on the infection, a doctor may prescribe it as a one-time dose, once daily, or on another schedule; the exact amount and duration are individualized. Do not take more than your prescribed daily amount, because the safe maximum depends on your condition, age, liver function, kidney function, and other medicines.

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