Flunac Suspension 50 mg/5 ml contains Fluconazole, a triazole antifungal agent used to treat and prevent fungal infections in pediatric and adult patients who require an oral liquid formulation. This suspension is particularly beneficial for children or adults who have difficulty swallowing capsules or tablets, ensuring accurate and convenient dosing.

Fluconazole works by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. The absence of ergosterol weakens the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell death and the resolution of the infection. Flunac Suspension 50 mg/5 ml is effective against Candida species, Cryptococcus, and other susceptible fungi. Its high bioavailability ensures rapid absorption and effective systemic action, making it suitable for both localized and systemic infections.
