Product Overview
Flucos Gel is a topical antifungal medication containing Fluconazole as its active ingredient. Presented in a gel formulation, it offers convenient application to affected skin areas. This broad-spectrum antifungal effectively treats various fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). The gel works by directly targeting the fungal infection source, providing symptom relief while promoting healing.
Uses
Flucos Gel is prescribed for fungal skin infections caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and other fungal organisms. It’s particularly effective against common conditions including athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. The gel formulation enables precise application to infected areas, ensuring optimal treatment effectiveness while relieving associated symptoms like itching, redness, and inflammation.
How to Use
For proper application:
1. Clean and thoroughly dry the affected area
2. Apply a thin gel layer to the infected skin and surrounding area
3. Gently massage until fully absorbed
4. Wash hands after application (unless treating hand infections)
Use as directed by your healthcare professional or per package instructions. Complete the full treatment course even if symptoms improve earlier.
How it Works
The active component Fluconazole belongs to the azole class of antifungals. It combats fungal infections by:
• Inhibiting ergosterol synthesis (a crucial fungal cell membrane component)
• Disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity
• Preventing fungal growth and reproduction
This mechanism ultimately eliminates the fungal infection.
Dosage and Administration
Application Guidelines:
• Apply 1-2 times daily to affected areas as directed
• Treatment duration varies based on infection severity and response
• Avoid excessive use or prolonged treatment
• If a dose is missed, apply when remembered (unless near next scheduled dose)
