Itraconazole 200 mg (capsule)
Treatment of fungal infections such as aspergillosis, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis; dermatophytosis (tinea/ringworm), pityriasis versicolor; candidiasis (oral/esophageal/vaginal); onychomycosis (nail fungal infection) as prescribed.
Itraconazole is a triazole antifungal that inhibits fungal CYP450 enzyme 14-alpha-demethylase, reducing ergosterol synthesis. This disrupts the fungal cell membrane and stops fungal growth, leading to clearance of infection.
Capsule: take exactly as prescribed. Usually taken with food (better absorption); swallow whole and do not crush/chew. Take at the same time each day; duration depends on infection type and site. Avoid taking with acid-suppressing medicines unless advised.
Common side effects of ITRASOL 200 may include:
Prescription-only antifungal. Can cause liver injury—seek care for jaundice, dark urine, severe fatigue; monitoring may be needed, especially with prolonged therapy. May worsen or precipitate heart failure—avoid/use with extreme caution in patients with ventricular dysfunction/CHF. Numerous serious drug interactions due to strong CYP3A4 inhibition; do not self-medicate. Use caution in kidney/liver disease and in the elderly.
