Zanoc (50mg/5ml) 35ml Suspension

Overview

Zanoc 50mg/5ml 35ml Suspension is an oral antifungal medicine containing fluconazole. It is used under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional for fungal infections where systemic antifungal treatment is considered appropriate. The suspension format allows measured oral dosing and may be useful for patients who cannot swallow tablets or capsules, but the dose must be measured carefully and followed exactly as prescribed.
