Canditral 100 Capsule

Canditral 100 Capsule contains Itraconazole (100mg). Prescription required.

Treatment of fungal infections such as tinea (ringworm), pityriasis versicolor, oral/vaginal candidiasis (as prescribed), onychomycosis (nail fungal infection) and certain systemic fungal infections.

Itraconazole is a triazole antifungal that inhibits fungal CYP450 enzyme (14-alpha-demethylase), blocking ergosterol synthesis. This damages the fungal cell membrane and stops growth.

Take exactly as prescribed, preferably with food for better absorption. Swallow capsule whole; do not crush or chew. Complete the full course; for nail infections may be given as pulse therapy per doctor.
