Medicine Description fluca 5 ml
Fluca 5 ml eye drops is a medication that contains fluconazole, an antifungal agent belonging to the triazole class. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. By blocking the enzyme lanosterol demethylase, fluconazole disrupts the normal production of ergosterol, leading to increased membrane permeability and ultimately resulting in fungal cell death. This targeted action helps to effectively eliminate fungal pathogens responsible for infections in the ocular region, thereby promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
