FCN-400 Tablet contains fluconazole (400 mg), which performs its action on the body as follows:

• Inhibits Cytochrome P450 Enzyme 14α-Demethylase: Fluconazole works by blocking an enzyme called cytochrome P450 enzyme 14α-demethylase. This enzyme is crucial for converting a substance called lanosterol into ergosterol. Ergosterol plays a key role in maintaining the structure and function of the fungal cell membrane.

• Increases Fungal Cell Membrane Permeability: By inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, fluconazole weakens the structure of the fungal cell membrane. This causes an increase in membrane permeability, which disrupts essential cellular processes, eventually leading to the death of the fungal cells.
