The active ingredient in Forcan is fluconazole, which is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat a variety of fungal infections, including fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). Onychomycosis is a condition where fungi invade and grow within the nails, leading to thickening, discoloration and, sometimes, pain or discomfort.
It's essential to consult a doctor before starting any antifungal treatment, as they can properly diagnose your condition, recommend the most suitable treatment, and monitor your progress.
Forcan tablets work by preventing fungal cells from reproducing and growing, which ultimately results in their death.
However, it is important to notice that Forcan isn’t usually the first choice for fungal nail infections, especially in severe or persistent cases. Depending on the type of fungus causing your infection and your general condition, other drugs, such as terbinafine, may be recommended.
Forcan comes in a single strength dose of 150 mg. To know the exact dose, speak to one of our doctors who will be happy to help you with your medical queries.
The dosing schedule given by the doctor should also be strictly followed and you must avoid self-medicating with Forcan. The doctor will carefully examine your condition before prescribing a treatment that would best suit you.

Take Forcan as directed by your doctor. It's typically taken once a day, but the specific timing may vary based on the severity of your condition. Follow the recommended schedule closely. You can take Forcan with or without food. It is best to swallow the pill whole with a glass of water.
Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) are slow-growing conditions, and the nail takes time to grow out healthily after the infection has been treated. You might start to see changes in the nail as it grows and replaces the infected part.
However, it's important to keep in mind that nail growth is relatively slow, with fingernails typically growing about 2-3 millimeters per month, and toenails growing even more slowly.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double up on doses.
It's crucial to follow your doctor's prescribed treatment plan and complete the full course of medication, even if you start to see improvement. Discontinuing the medication prematurely could cause the infection to return.
