Itraconazole 100mg Capsules
SKU GME620Product Introduction
Itraconazole 100mg is an oral triazole antifungal used for selected susceptible skin, nail and systemic fungal infections. The infection site and organism determine whether this formulation is appropriate.
How to use
Take conventional capsules immediately after a full meal and swallow them intact. Acid-suppressing medicines can reduce their absorption; oral solution and enhanced-bioavailability products are not interchangeable with conventional capsules.
How it works
Inhibition of fungal lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase reduces ergosterol synthesis, disrupting the fungal cell membrane.
Side effects
Nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, headache and abnormal liver tests can occur.
Important information
Tell your doctor about heart failure, liver disease and every medicine you take. Itraconazole can worsen heart pumping function and has major CYP3A4 interactions.
Uses
- Susceptible fungal skin, nail or systemic infections as appropriate to the formulation
Benefits
Treats the fungal cause rather than merely suppressing itching or inflammation.
Can a 65mg enhanced-bioavailability capsule replace 100mg conventionally?
Do not substitute by arithmetic alone; absorption and approved regimens differ.
Can acid-reducing medicines affect conventional capsules?
Yes. Proton-pump inhibitors, H2 blockers and antacids can reduce absorption of acid-dependent formulations.
Can I take a statin without telling the prescriber?
Some statins, particularly simvastatin and lovastatin, have contraindicated interactions with itraconazole.
Which symptoms could indicate heart failure?
New breathlessness, ankle swelling or rapid weight gain needs prompt review.
Which liver symptoms should I report?
Dark urine, yellow eyes, persistent nausea or loss of appetite requires assessment.
Can a nail look abnormal after the fungus is treated?
Yes. Normal nail appearance depends on healthy nail growing out and may take months.
Can topical cream replace treatment for a systemic infection?
No. Local and systemic formulations have different indications.
Why should recurring ringworm be reassessed?
Diagnosis, resistance, adherence and reinfection can all affect response; repeating courses without review may miss the cause.
