About FLUFUNG 50MG TABLET

FLUFUNG 50MG TABLET is an antifungal medicine that is used to treat a broad range of infections caused due to fungi and yeast. A fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects any part of the body, including the mouth, throat, oesophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and blood.
