Itraconazole

Uses

Itraconazole is used in the treatment of fungal infections. It is effective against fungal infections of the mouth or vagina (thrush), skin, and other areas of the body, including fingernails and toenails.

How it Works

Itraconazole is an antifungal medication that works by killing fungi and inhibiting their growth. It accomplishes this by destroying the cell membrane of the fungi, effectively treating skin infections.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Itraconazole include nausea, abdominal pain, and headache.

Expert Advice

  • Itraconazole is used to treat fungal infections of the mouth, skin, vagina, or other parts of the body.

  • Take it with food, preferably at the same time every day.
  • Use a reliable method of contraception to prevent pregnancy while taking this medication.
  • Avoid taking indigestion remedies (antacids) within two hours of taking Itraconazole.
  • Your doctor may check your liver function before starting treatment and regularly thereafter.

Frequently asked questions

Itraconazole is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum, including ringworm, athlete's foot, and groin infections. It also treats persistent nail infections, vaginal and oral candidiasis, cryptococcal infections, and infections caused by histoplasma, aspergillus, and blastomyces.
The duration of Itraconazole treatment varies based on the type and site of infection. For athlete’s foot, treatment may last 30 days, while for vaginal candidiasis, it may take 1 to 3 days depending on the doctor's advice.
Antacids can reduce stomach acidity, which is necessary for Itraconazole absorption. Avoid taking antacids for at least 2 hours after Itraconazole. If using acid-reducing medications, take Itraconazole with cola.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Blood tests may be required to monitor liver function, as Itraconazole can cause serious liver damage. Report any symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, dark urine, or abdominal pain to your doctor immediately.
Drug resistance occurs when fungi adapt and become unresponsive to treatment. Some candida species (krusei, glabrata, tropicalis) may exhibit resistance to Itraconazole, so complete the course to minimize this risk.
Yes, you can take Alprazolam and Itraconazole together, but monitor for side effects like drowsiness. Consult your doctor if you experience any adverse effects after starting Itraconazole.
Do not stop taking Itraconazole without completing the prescribed course, as this may prevent full recovery. Nail lesions may take 6-9 months to heal, and new nail growth can take additional time.
Itraconazole is contraindicated with dofetilide because it can interfere with heart rhythm, posing a risk to patients taking dofetilide.
