Composition

Each capsule contains:

• Fluconazole 150 mg

How Diflu Capsule Works

Fluconazole belongs to the azole antifungal class of medicines. It works by inhibiting the fungal enzyme responsible for producing ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane.

Without adequate ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak and damaged, preventing the fungus from growing and multiplying. This ultimately leads to the elimination of the fungal infection while having minimal effects on human cells.

• Vaginal candidiasis (vaginal yeast infection)
• Oral thrush (oropharyngeal candidiasis)
