NUFORCE 150 TAB

About

NUFORCE 150 TAB contains Fluconazole 150mg, an antifungal medication belonging to the triazole class. It works by inhibiting the fungal enzyme 14-alpha-demethylase, which is crucial for the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. By disrupting ergosterol synthesis, Fluconazole impairs the integrity and function of the fungal cell membrane, leading to the inhibition of fungal growth and ultimately cell death. This broad-spectrum antifungal agent is effective against a wide range of fungal infections, particularly those caused by Candida species, and is well-absorbed orally, allowing for systemic treatment of various mycoses.
