Itraconazole 100mg Capsule – ITRAZOLE 100 Capsules contains itraconazole which belongs to a group of medicines called antifungals. It is used for infections caused by fungi or yeasts in adults such as infections of the mouth or vagina, skin infections, and infections affecting other parts of the body. It acts by inhibiting the fungal cytochrome P-450 dependent enzyme lanosterol which in turn blocks the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, which disrupts the synthesis of the fungal cell membrane.
It may take a few weeks for the skin patches to completely clear up and may take several months for the finger and toenails to completely clear up after the treatment with this medicine. Your skin or nail will only look normal after new skin or nail has grown, even though the medicine has killed the fungus.
Itraconazole Capsule is not normally given to children under 12 years of age. Always take this medicine straight after a meal as this helps your body to use the medicine. Swallow the medicine whole with some liquid. Before taking this medicine tell your doctor if you have ever had kidney disease, heart disease, or pancreas problems. Pregnant and breastfeeding women. The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, and headache.
