What is Flumet 400 mg
Flumet 400 is an antifungal medication used to treat Candidiasis, yeast infections, and various fungal infections affecting the skin, nails, mouth, and vagina. The active ingredient is Fluconazole 400 mg, a systemic antifungal that inhibits fungal cell membrane synthesis, stopping fungal growth and spread.
Flumet is manufactured by Leeford Healthcare Ltd in a GMP-compliant facility, under WHO-approved quality controls. Its FDA-approved Fluconazole ensures safety and effectiveness.
Flumet is used for treating oral, vaginal, skin, and nail infections caused by Candida. It also helps treat deeper or systemic infections when prescribed by a healthcare provider. Flumet 400 provides relief from symptoms like itching, burning, discharge, and discomfort caused by fungal overgrowth.
Fluconazole in Flumet works by inhibiting a crucial fungal enzyme, lanosterol 14-α-demethylase. This enzyme is needed to produce ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane.
When Fluconazole inhibits this enzyme, ergosterol production is reduced, weakening the fungal cell membrane. As a result, the fungus can no longer grow or spread properly, allowing the body to clear the infection effectively.
The typical dosage is one 400 mg Fluconazole 400 mg tablet taken once daily with or after food. The exact Flumet dosage depends on the type and severity of the infection, as well as individual factors such as age and kidney function.
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember, unless the next Flumet dose is due soon. In case of Fluconazole overdose, seek medical attention immediately. Common side effects may include headache, nausea, stomach upset, and dizziness. Seek urgent care for signs of rash, liver issues, or allergic reactions.
Store Flumet in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children. It is a reliable treatment for fungal infections when used as directed.

Kidney Impairment
Flumet is safe in people with severe kidney impairment without dose modification and professional guidance.

Therefore, people with weakened kidney function should use it only after a healthcare professional's assessment.
Pregnant and Breastfeeding women
Flumet is not considered automatically safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Healthcare professionals should weigh the benefits against any potential risks to the developing baby or infant before prescribing it in these groups.
Avoid
Avoid Flumet if you have a known allergy to Fluconazole or other azole antifungals, as reactions can range from rash to severe allergic symptoms. Chronic alcohol use and certain medications affecting the liver or heart rhythm may interact with this medicine. Therefore, disclose all current medications to your healthcare provider and avoid alcohol when advised.
