About Forcan Injection

Forcan Injection is used to treat a broad range of infections caused by fungi and yeast. A fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects any part of the body, including the mouth, throat, oesophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and blood.

Forcan Injection 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.

Forcan Injection may cause common side effects like headache, diarrhoea, nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, stomach pain, and altered food tastes. 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 Forcan Injection . Let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems before starting Forcan Injection . Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Forcan Injection .
