What is Zocon 50mg?
Zocon 50mg is recommended by the doctor to treat fungal infections of your vagina, throat, mouth, and other parts of the body like toenails and fingernails. This medicine also kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane and stopping the growth of fungi.
Zocon belongs to a class of drugs known as antifungals which are effective in treating a broad range of infections caused by yeast and fungi. It also contains an active ingredient called Fluconazole.
A fungal infection is mainly caused when the fungus invades and affects parts of your body like the lungs, mouth, genital area, throat, blood, and bladder. After the prescription from the doctor, Zocon 50mg can be purchased from a licensed online pharmacy.
How does Zocon 50mg work?
Zocon 50mg contains Fluconazole that kills or prevents fungi by obstructing an enzyme in fungi that is responsible for its normal fat metabolism. Normal fat metabolism further interferes with the development of the fungal cell membrane.
This further helps in killing fungal cells and decreases their growth easily.
