Af 200 Tablet 1 contains fluconazole (200 mg), which acts on your body as follows:

• Inhibits Lanosterol 14-α-demethylase: Fluconazole works by blocking a fungal enzyme called lanosterol 14-α-demethylase. This enzyme is instrumental in converting lanosterol into ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane.

• Increases Cellular Permeability: By disrupting the production of ergosterol, fluconazole increases cellular permeability, which leads to leakage of cellular contents.

• Inhibition of Fungal Cell Growth: The increased cellular permeability inhibits fungal cell growth and replication.

• Keep Af 200 Tablet 1 at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C.

• Protect it from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Ensure the medicine is out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• If you have been prescribed Af 200 Tablet 1 for a fungal infection, consider increasing your intake of probiotic-rich foods like yoghurt. Probiotics help balance the good and bad bacteria in your body, which can support your recovery.

• Regular exercise can boost your immune system, making you more resistant to infections. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity daily. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
