Description
Fluconazole 150mg oral capsules are a potent antifungal treatment specifically designed to combat vaginal thrush. This single-dose therapy is highly effective against Candida albicans, the most common cause of vaginal yeast infections. The capsules contain fluconazole as the active ingredient, which works by inhibiting the growth of fungi responsible for the infection.
These blue, hard gelatin capsules are easy to swallow and provide a convenient alternative to topical treatments. Fluconazole is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, reaching the site of infection quickly to alleviate symptoms such as itching, burning, and abnormal discharge.
The 150mg strength is carefully calibrated to provide optimal efficacy while minimising the risk of side effects.
