Description
Mycorest is an antifungal medicine indicated for various fungal infections including vaginal candidiasis, oropharyngeal candidiasis, tinea, onychomycosis, and invasive candidal infections. It is a triazole antifungal agent that inhibits fungal cytochrome P-450 dependent enzymes, essential for fungal cell membrane synthesis. The medicine is available in different dosages based on the specific condition and patient demographics. It is generally well-tolerated but may cause gastrointestinal symptoms and, in rare cases, anaphylaxis. Fluconazole, the active ingredient, has contraindications in patients with known hypersensitivity and is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation. Special precautions are advised for patients with underlying diseases, renal impairment, and hepatic abnormalities. The medicine belongs to the therapeutic class of drugs for subcutaneous and mycoses and should be stored in a dry place away from light and heat.
