Fludan 5mg Capsule

Fludan 5mg Capsule is a medication containing Flunarizine as its active ingredient. Flunarizine belongs to a class of medicines known as calcium channel blockers. It works by improving blood flow and reducing abnormal calcium activity in the brain, helping to stabilise nerve function. Like any medicine, Fludan 5mg may cause side effects in some individuals, including drowsiness, weight gain, and fatigue — although not everyone will experience these. Before starting this medication, it is important to inform your doctor or pharmacist about any existing medical conditions or medications you are currently taking to ensure it is safe and suitable for you.

Fludan 5mg Capsule is taken orally by mouth and is usually recommended to be taken once daily, preferably at night due to its potential sedative effects. It can be taken with or without food. Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule unless advised by a healthcare professional.

The dosage of Fludan 5mg Capsule should always be determined by a qualified healthcare provider. For adults, it is commonly prescribed once daily, typically at bedtime. Elderly patients may require a lower dose. Treatment duration depends on the condition being treated and patient response. Do not exceed the prescribed dose and do not continue long-term use without medical supervision.
