FAQs

FCN Infusion belongs to the class of medicines called 'antifungals' used to treat a broad range of infections caused by fungi and yeast.

FCN Infusion works by killing the fungus/yeast and preventing its growth by inhibiting the fungal cell membrane formation. Thus, it treats fungal infections.

Co-administration of terfenadine (anti-histamine), cisapride (antacid) with FCN Infusion is not recommended. However, consult your doctor before taking FCN Infusion with other medicines.

FCN Infusion may not be suitable for some people who have a weakened immune system, diabetes, cancer, or low blood magnesium or potassium levels. However, seek a doctor's advice before using FCN Infusion if you have a previous medical history.

Diarrhoea could be a side effect of FCN Infusion . Drink plenty of fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
