ALCROS 200MG

Description

Alcros 200mg Capsule, manufactured by Acme Generics LLP, is a prescription antifungal medication that contains Itraconazole 200mg as its active ingredient. Itraconazole belongs to the class of drugs known as triazole antifungals and is effective against a wide range of fungal infections.

Uses:
Alcros 200mg Capsule is prescribed for the treatment of various fungal infections, including:

• Dermatophyte infections: Such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch.

• Candida infections: Affecting the mouth (oral thrush), throat, vagina, and nails.

• Systemic fungal infections: Including infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.

• Onychomycosis: Fungal infections of the fingernails and toenails.

Mechanism of Action:
Itraconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption leads to increased membrane permeability and ultimately the death of the fungal cell.
