Vorif 200mg Tablet contains Voriconazole, a powerful triazole antifungal medicine used for the treatment of serious and invasive fungal infections. It works by stopping the growth of fungi and eliminating infection at its source.

This medicine is commonly prescribed for life-threatening fungal conditions such as invasive aspergillosis, candidemia, esophageal candidiasis, and other systemic fungal infections affecting the lungs, blood, or internal organs.

Voriconazole works by inhibiting fungal enzyme activity required for cell membrane formation, which leads to the destruction of fungal cells.

How It Works

Voriconazole blocks the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Without ergosterol, fungal cells become weak and eventually die, stopping the spread of infection.

Most side effects are reversible, but medical monitoring is required in long-term use.
