Description
Itacare 100 mg Capsules contain itraconazole, an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections, including those affecting the lungs, mouth, throat, toenails, and fingernails. Itraconazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi by disrupting the production of the fungal cell membrane. It is often prescribed for conditions such as aspergillosis, candidiasis, and onychomycosis (nail infections).
Dosage/Direction:
The typical adult dose varies based on the type of infection being treated. For fungal infections of the nails, the usual dose is 1 capsule (100 mg) taken once or twice daily. For other infections, the dosage may differ. Take the capsule with food to enhance absorption, and follow your healthcare provider’s instructions closely.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Rare but serious side effects may include liver problems or allergic reactions. Seek medical attention for severe symptoms.
