Lucan-R Capsule 200 mg contains Fluconazole, a powerful antifungal from the azole class. It is used to treat a variety of fungal infections caused by Candida species and other susceptible fungi. This dosage is often prescribed for moderate to severe fungal infections, including infections of the mouth, throat, esophagus, urinary tract, and systemic fungal infections.

Lucan-R Capsule 200 mg works by inhibiting fungal growth, helping the body eliminate infection effectively. It is particularly valuable for patients who require higher doses for treatment-resistant fungal infections or when shorter treatment duration is desired under medical supervision.

Composition

Each capsule contains:

• Fluconazole 200 mg

Mechanism of Action

Fluconazole inhibits lanosterol 14-α-demethylase, an enzyme necessary for synthesizing ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes.

By disrupting ergosterol production, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak and leaky, leading to cell death. This selective mechanism ensures potent antifungal activity while minimizing effects on human cells.

• Oropharyngeal and esophageal candidiasis

• Vaginal candidiasis (moderate infections or multiple-dose therapy)

• Urinary tract fungal infections

Physicians may prescribe this dose based on the severity and type of infection and the patient’s overall health condition.

Dosage and Administration
