Fish Flucon 100 mg 10 Capsules

Fish Flucon 100 mg 10 Capsules – Fluconazole Antifungal Fish Medication

Fish Flucon 100 mg Capsules contain Fluconazole 100 mg, a potent triazole antifungal medication formulated for ornamental and aquarium fish. Designed for use in both freshwater and saltwater systems, Fish Flucon targets systemic and external fungal infections without significantly disrupting beneficial nitrifying bacteria in biological filtration systems.

Fluconazole works by inhibiting lanosterol 14α-demethylase, an essential enzyme required for fungal cell membrane synthesis. By disrupting ergosterol production, it prevents fungal growth and replication, helping infected fish recover while stabilizing the aquatic environment.

Important: For aquarium use only. Not for human consumption. Not for fish intended for human consumption.
