How Fluconazole 150mg work.

It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol (an essential component of fungal cell membranes). By disrupting this key element of the fungal structure, the medication weakens the fungal cell walls, leading to their eventual breakdown and death. This selective action against fungi, rather than human cells, is why Fluconazole is effective against fungal infections while minimizing harm to human tissues.
