Isavuconazole

Uses

Isavuconazole is used for the treatment of aspergillosis.

How it Works

Isavuconazole is an antifungal medication that inhibits the activity of an enzyme involved in the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of the fungal cell membrane. Consequently, the fungus is unable to grow and multiply, leading to the elimination of the infection-causing fungus and resolution of the infection.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Isavuconazole include abnormal liver function tests, headache, decreased potassium levels in the blood, breathlessness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea.

Expert Advice

  • Isavuconazole is used for the treatment of specific fungal infections in adults.
  • Inform your doctor if you have or have ever had an abnormal heart rate or rhythm.
  • Your doctor may request an ECG test to assess your heart before starting treatment.
  • Notify your doctor if you experience serious hypersensitivity or severe skin reactions after taking Isavuconazole.
  • Isavuconazole may interact with certain antibiotics and painkillers; inform your doctor if you are taking any.
  • Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
