Fluconaz 400mg Tablet 1 contains fluconazole (400 mg). This active ingredient works in the body as follows:

• Inhibits Cytochrome P450 enzyme: Fluconazole works by blocking a specific enzyme called cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase in the fungi. This enzyme plays a crucial role in converting lanosterol to ergosterol, which is an important part of the fungal cell membrane.
• Disrupts cell membrane synthesis: By hindering the activity of cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase, fluconazole effectively disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol. This disruption leads to increased fungal membrane permeability, causing leakage of cellular contents and eventually leading to the death of the fungal cell. This action helps to manage the fungal infection by preventing further growth of the fungi.
