Description
FUZ-200 by Ellanjey is a potent, broad-spectrum oral antifungal medication containing Fluconazole I.P. 200 mg. Fluconazole belongs to the triazole class of antifungal agents and works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol – an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. By blocking the enzyme lanosterol 14-α-demethylase (a cytochrome P450-dependent enzyme), Fluconazole disrupts cell membrane formation, leading to increased membrane permeability, leakage of cellular contents, and ultimately fungal cell death.

4. Can I take FUZ-200 during pregnancy?
A single 150 mg dose for vaginal candidiasis is generally considered safe during pregnancy. However, multiple or high doses (200-400 mg daily) may increase the risk of birth defects and should be avoided, especially in the first trimester.
