AF 400MG TABLET 5S

Product Introduction:

AF 400mg Tablet is a pharmaceutical product containing Fluconazole, an antifungal medication used to treat a variety of fungal infections. Fluconazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, effectively eliminating the infection. AF 400mg Tablet is commonly prescribed for conditions such as yeast infections, ringworm, and other fungal infections affecting the skin, throat, and internal organs.

AF 400mg Tablet should be taken in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. It should be swallowed whole and can be taken with or without food. The dosage and length of treatment will depend on the condition you are being treated for. Sometimes this will be in cycles of use and non-use. To get the most benefit, take this medicine at evenly spaced times and continue using it until your prescription is finished, even if your symptoms disappear after a few days. If you stop treatment too early, the infection may return and if you miss doses you can increase your risk of infections that are resistant to further treatment. Tell your doctor if the infection does not get better or if it gets worse. Avoid taking antacid treatments within one hour before or two hours after you take it.

The most common side effects of this medicine include stomach pain, headache, and nausea. You could ask your doctor about ways of preventing or reducing these effects. Stop taking medicine and inform your doctor if you notice signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, swelling of the lips, throat, or face, swallowing or breathing problems, dizziness, and nausea.

Do not take AF 400mg Tablet if you are pregnant unless your doctor has told you to.
