CompositionCandigyl 200mg Tablet is an antifungal medicine used to treat a wide range of fungal and yeast infections. It is effective for oropharyngeal and oesophageal candidiasis (thrush) and systemic candida infections. It contains fluconazole, which works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane, which causes the fungus to weaken and die.
This tablet is also a commonly used treatment for vaginal yeast infections. Because it can reach effective concentrations in various body fluids, it is often used for systemic infections that affect the internal organs. Higher doses under specialist supervision are used for serious systemic infections such as cryptococcal meningitis, and it is also used to help prevent candidal infections in high-risk patients, such as bone marrow transplant recipients.
Completing the full course as prescribed, even after symptoms ease, can help ensure the infection clears completely.
Take the tablet as prescribed by your doctor, with or without food. It is important to complete the full course even if your symptoms disappear after the first dose. Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, or if you are taking medicines for heart rhythm disorders, as interactions can occur.
