Treatment of Fungal and Parasitic Infections

Directions for Use

Medicinal Benefits

Flumet Plus Tablet combines two drugs: fluconazole (antifungal) and ivermectin (anthelmintics). It is used to treat fungal infections and parasitic infections caused by certain parasites, such as head lice, scabies, and certain types of worms. Fluconazole kills or inhibits fungi and yeast by blocking an enzyme in fungi responsible for proper fat metabolism, resulting in the production of the fungal cell membrane. As a result, fungal or yeast cells are killed, or their growth is inhibited. Ivermectin paralyzes and kills the parasite or temporarily prevents adult parasites from producing larvae. Thus, it is helpful in treating parasite infections.

How Flumet Plus Tablet Works
