Managing the Side Effects:

Ultican Dt 50 MG Tablet 10 contains fluconazole (50 mg), and its mechanism of action is as follows:

Inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzyme: Fluconazole works by inhibiting a specific enzyme in fungi known as cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the conversion of lanosterol into ergosterol.
Disruption of fungal cell membrane: By inhibiting the production of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane, fluconazole causes an increase in membrane permeability. This results in leakage of cellular contents, leading to fungal cell death and thus halting the growth and spread of the fungal infection.
