Eden Fluconazole 200mg is used to treat fungal infections, and can also be used to prevent candidal infections.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Fluconazole belongs to a class of medications called antifungals. Its primary purpose is to combat infections caused by fungi, particularly a common yeast called Candida. It works by interfering with the formation of the fungal cell membrane, ultimately killing the fungus or inhibiting its growth.
Here's a breakdown of its uses:
-
Treatment of Fungal Infections: Fluconazole 200mg is effective against various fungal infections, including:
- Vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis)
- Esophageal candidiasis
- Systemic candidiasis (affecting multiple organs)
- Cryptococcal meningitis
- Ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch (although topical treatments are often preferred for these)
-
Prevention of Candidal Infections: In some cases, fluconazole can be prescribed to prevent candidal infections, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy or those with HIV/AIDS.
It is important to note that Fluconazole is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Self-treating fungal infections can lead to resistance and other complications.
