The drug "Mikomaks": instructions for use, recommendations

Antifungal medications doctors pay a lot of attention. Saving ointments, tablets and syrups, unfortunately, are not as safe as it seems at first glance. Danger represents the property of active substances to penetrate into all tissues of the human body and poisonously affect the fungi. That's why doctors strictly prohibit the unauthorized use of such medicines. It should be remembered that this type of medication has side effects, among which there are cases of death of patients.

One such drug is Mikomaks. Instructions for use for this medication and will be discussed below. We will try to explain to the reader the effect of the means and the reasons why doctors treat him so cautiously.

What is Mikomax?

The instructions for use indicate that the drug belongs to the triazole group. However, this information does not speak to the patient. Let's try to present the properties with an accessible language without numerous terms and formulations.

In the composition of any of the forms, including such as the syrup "Mikomaks", there is an active substance - fluconazole. This compound has the property of inducing in the cells the isolation of a harmful substance, which eventually destroys them. Flukanazole is not limited to the influence of mushrooms alone, it acts immediately on all cells, including human cells. However, in the tissues of our body, the production of cytochrome (the same substance) occurs much more slowly and in smaller amounts. The therapeutic effect, as a rule, manifests itself much earlier than irreversible disorders in the patient's tissues.

Indication for taking Mikomax

Instructions for use in the number of indications are:

• Diseases caused by cryptococci (including meningitis, immunodeficiency, postoperative conditions, as well as treatment of patients diagnosed with AIDS);
• Candidiasis (internal organs, mucous membranes, etc.);
• Mycoses (deep and superficial, including lichen).

In all cases, the drug is prescribed by a doctor. The fact is that the patient alone can not determine accurately even an uncomplicated diagnosis. The danger of fungal infections is their rapid spread and a high degree of resistance to drugs, so the therapy should appoint a specialist.

Contraindications for the use of "Mikomaks"

The instructions for use also describe a number of conditions and factors that interfere with the use of the drug in question. These include:

• Children or adolescence until the patient reaches 16 years of age;
• With intolerance of substances such as lactose, galactose;
• With simultaneous therapy with asemisol or terfenadine;
• Disorders of the kidneys, the liver, the excretory pathways and bile ducts.

Do not use the drug "Mikomaks" with thrush and other diseases in pregnant women, and also use it in the lactation period. The fact is that after taking the concentration of fluconazole in all biological fluids (including milk, in amniotic fluid and blood) reaches a maximum. Proceeding from the fact that the action of the means is indiscriminate, it can cause irreparable harm to the baby.

1. Gastrointestinal tract: impaired bilirubin production and other malfunctions in liver function, pain, vomiting or nausea, change in receptivity of taste buds, stool disorder;
2. CNS: dizziness, occasionally convulsions;
