Lucan-R Suspension 50 mg/5 ml is an oral antifungal medication containing Fluconazole, used to treat a wide range of fungal infections. Fluconazole belongs to the azole class of antifungal drugs, which work by inhibiting the growth of fungi responsible for infections in various parts of the body, including the mouth, throat, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract.

This pediatric-friendly oral suspension is particularly useful for children and adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Lucan-R Suspension ensures accurate dosing and effective treatment of fungal infections with minimal discomfort. It is commonly prescribed for candidiasis (yeast infections) and other systemic or superficial fungal infections under medical supervision.

Composition

Each 5 ml of suspension contains:

• Fluconazole 50 mg

Mechanism of Action

Fluconazole works by inhibiting the enzyme lanosterol 14-α-demethylase, which is essential for the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes.

By disrupting ergosterol production, Fluconazole weakens the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell death and effective eradication of the infection. This mechanism ensures selective action against fungal cells with minimal impact on human cells.

Indications

Lucan-R Suspension 50 mg/5 ml is indicated for:

• Oropharyngeal and esophageal candidiasis

• Vaginal candidiasis (in specific pediatric or adolescent cases under supervision)

• Systemic fungal infections caused by susceptible fungi

• Prophylaxis of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients (such as those undergoing chemotherapy or organ transplantation)

Doctors may prescribe it for other fungal infections depending on clinical need.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Lucan-R Suspension depends on the patient’s age, weight, and the type and severity of the infection.
