Overview
Biozole 150mg Capsule contains fluconazole 150mg, a triazole antifungal medicine used to treat and prevent fungal infections caused by Candida species and certain other fungi, including vaginal thrush, oral and oesophageal candidiasis, and some skin and systemic fungal infections. It is often given as a single dose for uncomplicated vaginal candidiasis.
Fluconazole works by blocking an enzyme fungi need to build their cell membranes. Without a properly functioning membrane, the fungal cells become unstable and cannot grow or survive, allowing the infection to clear.
How it Works
Fluconazole inhibits fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in ergosterol synthesis, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. This depletes ergosterol and disrupts membrane integrity, which is fungistatic – stopping fungal growth – and at higher concentrations can be fungicidal against susceptible organisms.
Directions for Use
Take Biozole 150mg Capsule with or without food, swallowed whole with a glass of water. If you have been prescribed a multi-day course, complete it fully even if your symptoms improve early, to reduce the risk of the infection returning or becoming resistant to treatment.
Dosage
The dose of Biozole 150mg Capsule depends on the type and severity of the infection; uncomplicated vaginal candidiasis is often treated with a single dose, while oral, oesophageal, or other infections may require daily dosing for one to several weeks. Your doctor will determine the correct dose and duration for your specific infection.
