How it works:
Fluconazole is the active ingredient in the Forcan 200 mg Tablet. It is a triazole antifungal that operates by:
Stopping the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase from changing lanosterol into ergosterol, which is an important part of the fungal cell membrane.
This damage damages the cell wall of the fungus, causing the cells to die and stopping the fungus from growing.
So, Forcan gets rid of illnesses caused by fungus and yeasts quite well.
