Flucut Injection

Flucut Injection belongs to the class of medicines called 'antifungals' used to treat a broad range of infections caused by fungi and yeast. A fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects any part of the body, including the mouth, throat, oesophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and blood.

Flucut Injection contains ‘Fluconazole’ that kills or prevents fungi or yeast growth by inhibiting an enzyme responsible for its normal fat metabolism. This interferes with the formation of the fungal cell membrane. As a result, fungal or yeast cells get killed or their growth is minimized.

Flucut Injection may cause common side effects like headache, diarrhoea, nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, stomach pain, and altered food tastes. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Flucut Injection. Let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems before starting Flucut Injection. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Flucut Injection. It is advised to avoid alcohol intake while using Flucut Injection to prevent any undesirable effects.

Flucut Injection is used to treat various fungal or yeast infections, such as vaginal candidiasis, oropharyngeal candidiasis (thrush, oral thrush), oesophagal candidiasis (candida esophagitis), candida infections (urinary tract infections, peritonitis), and cryptococcal meningitis. Besides this, Flucut Injection is also used to prevent candidiasis and coccidioidomycosis in patients who receive cancer or radiation treatment while undergoing bone marrow transplantation. Flucut Injection is effective in treating soft tissue and pulmonary infections when compared to other azole antifungal drugs. It works by killing the fungus/yeast and preventing its growth by inhibiting the fungal cell membrane formation.

Please inform your doctor if you use any prescription, or non-prescription medicines, including vitamin and herbal supplements before using Flucut Injection. Do not use Flucut Injection if you are allergic to any of its components. Let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems, a weakened immune system, diabetes, cancer, or low blood magnesium or potassium levels. Pregnant or lactating women should consult the doctor before taking Flucut Injection. Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience dizziness or other side effects that may affect your mental ability to drive. Avoid alcohol consumption along with Flucut Injection to avoid undesirable effects.
