How to use Flucorix 200 Tablet

How Flucorix 200 Tablet works
Flucorix 200 Tablet works by blocking an enzyme that fungi need to build ergosterol, an essential component of their cell membrane. Without adequate ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak and leaky, which stops the fungus from growing and eventually destroys it. This targeted action helps clear the infection while sparing human cells, which do not rely on the same enzyme pathway.
