FLUCOS 0.5% (Fluconazole (0.5% w/w))

Flucos Gel is classified as an antifungal medication. Its primary function is to inhibit the proliferation of fungal organisms, making it effective for treating various skin infections, including those affecting fingernails and toenails. The mechanism of action involves disrupting the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, leading to the death of the fungal cells. This gel is intended solely for external application. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and treatment duration recommended by your healthcare provider. Before applying the gel, ensure that the affected area is both clean and dry. Proper hand hygiene is crucial; wash your hands thoroughly before and after use. For individuals experiencing athlete’s foot, washing any socks or tights used during the treatment is advisable, and it is beneficial to frequently change footwear. Should the condition fail to improve or deteriorate, it is important to inform your doctor promptly. Some typical adverse reactions may include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching where the gel is applied. If these reactions persist, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional. Avoid eye contact, and if contact occurs, rinse with water and seek immediate medical assistance. Discontinuation of the gel is necessary if any signs of allergic reactions or symptoms indicative of congestive heart failure appear. Such symptoms include rash, swelling in the lips, throat, or face, difficulty in swallowing or breathing, dizziness, faintness, and feelings of nausea. It is generally unlikely that orally taken or injected medications will interfere with the efficacy of this gel; however, it is prudent to discuss any recent use of steroid-containing drugs or past allergic reactions to other antifungals with your healthcare provider. The use of this gel during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be approached with caution; consult your doctor for guidance on safety in these situations.
