About Flunaz capsule 150mg

Flunaz Capsule Uses

• Vaginal yeast infections
• Oral thrush and esophageal candidiasis
• Fungal skin and nail infections
• Fungal infections in patients with weakened immunity

Flunaz Capsule Benefits

• Clears fungal infections with a single dose in many cases
• Reaches high levels in blood and tissue for effective action
• Convenient once daily or single dose treatment
• Well absorbed whether taken with or without food

Fluconazole stops fungal cells from building their protective outer wall, called the cell membrane. Without this wall, the fungus cannot grow or spread further in the body.

Pharmacies across Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi commonly stock Flunaz capsule for vaginal thrush, since a single 150mg dose often clears the infection completely. Doctors may prescribe longer courses for skin, nail, or throat fungal infections.

Flunaz capsule needs a valid prescription in Pakistan because it can interact with other medicines and affect the liver. Your doctor will confirm the fungal infection with a proper exam before starting treatment.
