AF 400 Tablet

AF 400 mg Tablet – Introduction

AF 400 mg Tablet effectively treats fungal infections and contains Fluconazole as the active ingredient. It ruptures the fungal cell membrane by blocking an enzyme essential to the fungus’ regular metabolism of fat. As a result, the growth of yeast or fungus cells is reduced or eliminated.

How AF 400 mg Tablet Works: A Closer Look 

• Fluconazole, the active ingredient in your 400 mg tablet, targets a critical chink in the armor of fungal cells: ergosterol production. Ergosterol acts like cholesterol in animal cells, providing structure and strength to the fungal cell membrane. Here’s how Fluconazole disrupts this process:
• Fluconazole acts like a spanner in the works for an enzyme called 14α-demethylase. This enzyme is essential for converting a precursor molecule into ergosterol. With this enzyme blocked, ergosterol production comes to a halt.
• The lack of ergosterol throws the fungal cell into disarray. Its cell membrane becomes weak and leaky, allowing essential cellular components to spill out. This leakage disrupts vital functions and ultimately leads to the death of the fungal cell.

AF 400 mg Tablet Use

AF 400mg Tablet uses can be listed as follows:

• Targets Fungal Cells: Fluconazole 400 mg attacks fungal infections in various parts of the body, including the mouth, throat, vagina, and nails.
  
  
• Disrupts Cell Walls: It weakens the fungus by destroying its cell membrane, a vital protective layer.

Stops Fungal Growth: This destruction cripples the fungus’ ability to grow and spread, effectively treating the infection.

AF 400 mg Tablet– The Benefits

AF 400 mg tablets offer a potent therapeutic option for the treatment of fungal infections. Their effectiveness stems from the active ingredient, Fluconazole, which acts via a well-defined mechanism.

• Fluconazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes. This targeted action disrupts the integrity of the fungal cell wall, hindering its growth and promoting eradication.
