Composition

• Active ingredient: Oteseconazole 150 mg

• Dosage form: Capsule

• Route of administration: Oral

Mechanism of Action

Oteseconazole is a highly selective inhibitor of the fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP51, which is essential for ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes. By disrupting ergosterol production, Oteseconazole compromises the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, leading to inhibition of fungal growth and replication. Its enhanced selectivity for fungal enzymes over human enzymes reduces the risk of drug interactions and systemic side effects commonly associated with older azole antifungals.

Vulcan Capsule 150 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis
