About Forcan Injection

Forcan Injection belongs to the class of medicines called 'antifungals' used to treat a broad range of infections caused by fungi and yeast. A fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects any part of the body, including the mouth, throat, oesophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and blood.

Forcan Injection contains ‘Fluconazole’ that kills or prevents fungi or yeast growth by inhibiting an enzyme responsible for its normal fat metabolism. This interferes with the formation of the fungal cell membrane. As a result, fungal or yeast cells get killed or their growth is minimized.

Forcan Injection may cause common side effects like headache, diarrhoea, nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, stomach pain, and altered food tastes. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Forcan Injection . Let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems before starting Forcan Injection . Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Forcan Injection . It is advised to avoid alcohol intake while using Forcan Injection to prevent any undesirable effects.

FLUCONAZOLE-200MGOther diseases of liver
Severe
How does the disease interact with Forcan Injection 100 ml:
Hepatotoxicity has only sometimes been linked to the usage of Forcan Injection 100 ml. There have been cases of reversible idiosyncratic hepatitis, cholestasis, and deadly fulminant hepatic failure; the latter generally affects people with substantial underlying medical disorders who are also taking several concurrent drugs. Patients with pre-existing hepatic problems should have periodic liver function tests done, especially during prolonged medication. If liver enzyme levels continue to rise or worsen, treatment should be stopped.

How to manage the interaction:
In patients with preexisting liver abnormalities, particularly during prolonged therapy, liver function tests should be done regularly. Treatment should be withdrawn if persistent elevations or worsening of liver enzyme levels occur.
FLUCONAZOLE-200MGOther cardiac arrhythmias
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Forcan Injection 100 ml:
The QT interval on the ECG has been shown to be prolonged by some azole antifungals. During postmarketing experience, there have been a few isolated incidences of QT prolongation and torsade de pointes; these reports typically involved critically ill patients with a number of complicating risk factors, including structural cardiac disease, electrolyte problems, and concurrent medicines. Patients with illnesses that could cause proarrhythmic symptoms should take these medications cautiously. It is best to avoid using drugs that could potentially enhance the risk of cardiotoxicity concurrently.

How to manage the interaction:
It should be administered with caution to patients with heart problems. Concomitant use with other medications that have potential to increase the risk of cardiotoxicity should be avoided.
FLUCONAZOLE-200MGCare involving dialysis
Moderate
