Bactocan Syrup is a highly effective antifungal medication containing Fluconazole (50mg/5ml). It is part of the triazole class of antifungal agents, designed to treat a wide range of fungal infections with precision and efficiency. This medication works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, ensuring relief from symptoms and reducing the recurrence of infections.

Composition and Mechanism of Action

The active ingredient, Fluconazole, acts by interfering with the fungal cell membrane synthesis. It inhibits the enzyme lanosterol 14-α-demethylase, which is crucial for the production of ergosterol—a key component of fungal cell membranes. This leads to a weakened cell structure and ultimately, the death of the fungal cells.

Uses and Indications

Bactocan Syrup is commonly prescribed for:

• Oropharyngeal candidiasis (thrush)
• Esophageal candidiasis
• Systemic fungal infections, including cryptococcal meningitis
• Prevention of fungal infections in immunocompromised individuals

Key Benefits

• Effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens

Directions for Use

Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions when using Bactocan Syrup. The dosage is typically based on the patient’s condition, age, and the severity of the infection. Shake well before use and measure the dosage accurately using the provided measuring device.
