BrandName Summary

BrandName is an antifungal medicine that works by weakening the fungus’s cell membrane, helping your body fight off the infection. It’s important to take it exactly as prescribed and let your doctor know if you have liver issues, heart problems, or trouble absorbing medications. Watch out for serious side effects like trouble breathing, vision changes, or yellowing of the skin. Avoid alcohol while taking it, and keep it stored in a cool, dry place away from kids.

How BrandName works

BrandName works by inhibiting the production of lanosterol, a chemical in fungi that serves as a precursor to ergosterol biosynthesis. Ergosterol is an essential chemical for strengthening the fungal cell membrane. By blocking ergosterol production, the fungal cells become fragile and are easily destroyed.
