About SYSCAN INFUSION

SYSCAN INFUSION 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.

SYSCAN INFUSION 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.

SYSCAN INFUSION 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 SYSCAN INFUSION. Let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems before starting SYSCAN INFUSION. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting SYSCAN INFUSION. It is advised to avoid alcohol intake while using SYSCAN INFUSION to prevent any undesirable effects.
