Overview
Zocol 150mg Capsule contains fluconazole, an antifungal medicine used to treat and prevent fungal infections caused by Candida yeast, including vaginal candidiasis (thrush) and other Candida infections.
Fluconazole works by blocking an enzyme fungi need to build their cell membrane, which weakens the fungal cell wall and stops the fungus from growing and multiplying.
How it Works
Zocol inhibits an enzyme called lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, which fungi need to produce ergosterol, an essential component of their cell membrane. Without enough ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes unstable, stopping the fungus from growing.
Directions for Use
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water, with or without food, as directed by your doctor.
Dosage
For uncomplicated vaginal candidiasis, a single 150mg dose is commonly used; other infections may require a different dose or repeated doses, as determined by the treating doctor based on the site and severity of infection.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
