About Flucos Gel

Flucos Gel is used to treat fungal skin infections. A fungal infection occurs when a fungus attacks and affects the skin tissue. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness and scaling of the skin.

Flucos Gel contains Fluconazole. It works by stopping an enzyme in fungi or yeast that is needed to make their cell membrane. This either kills the fungi or yeast or stops them from growing.

In some cases, Flucos Gel can cause side effects like itching, dryness, redness, and a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Flucos Gel. Let your doctor know if you have any other skin disorders or illnesses before starting Flucos Gel. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Flucos Gel.
