Composition

Each capsule contains:

• Fluconazole 150 mg

Mechanism of Action

Fluconazole works by inhibiting lanosterol 14-α-demethylase, an enzyme essential for synthesizing ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane.

Disruption of ergosterol production weakens the fungal cell membrane, causing leakage of cellular contents and ultimately cell death. This selective mechanism ensures potent antifungal action with minimal effect on human cells.

Indications

Lucan-R Capsule 150 mg is commonly prescribed for:

• Vaginal candidiasis (commonly as a single-dose therapy)

• Oropharyngeal and esophageal candidiasis

• Systemic fungal infections in susceptible patients

• Prophylaxis of fungal infections in immunocompromised individuals

Physicians may also recommend this dose for other infections depending on the patient’s condition and susceptibility of the fungus.

Dosage and Administration

• Swallow the capsule whole with water

• Can be taken with or without food

• Single-dose or short-course therapy may be sufficient for some infections

• Complete the prescribed course even if symptoms improve before finishing
