## What is Onecan 150 tablet

Onecan 150 tablet is a prescription antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections affecting the mouth, throat, vagina, fingernails, and toenails. It contains Fluconazole (150mg), an azole antifungal that damages the fungal cell membrane, effectively stopping fungal growth.

Manufactured by Wallace Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd, Onecan tablet is commonly prescribed for infections like candidiasis, meningitis, and fungal pneumonia. It is often taken as a single-dose treatment but may also be prescribed in cycles, depending on the severity of the infection.

Onecan is widely used due to its broad antifungal spectrum and convenient oral administration. It helps relieve symptoms like itching, redness, irritation, and discomfort caused by fungal infections.

While generally well-tolerated, typical side effects may include nausea, headache, stomach pain, diarrhea, and skin rash. Severe reactions are rare but should be reported to a doctor immediately. Patients with liver or kidney conditions should consult their healthcare provider before use.

For optimal results, follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Completing the prescribed course helps prevent reinfection and reduces the risk of antifungal resistance. Avoid taking antacids close to your dose to ensure maximum medication absorption.
