Product Description

Syntran 200 Capsule is a potent azole antifungal medicine used primarily to manage systemic and severe fungal infections. It is effective not only against internal infections but also for skin, nail, and mucosal fungal infections such as oral thrush, onychomycosis, and dermatophytosis.
