Salt Composition:
Itraconazole (200mg)
Description:
Canditral 200 Capsule contains itraconazole, an antifungal medication belonging to the triazole class. Itraconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, leading to fungal cell death or growth inhibition.
Canditral 200mg is used to treat a variety of fungal infections, including more severe or systemic infections compared to the 100mg strength. These can include infections of the lungs (like aspergillosis), esophagus, and other parts of the body, as well as serious skin and nail infections. The higher 200mg dose allows for more aggressive treatment when needed. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type and severity of the fungal infection and should be strictly followed as prescribed by a physician.
Canditral capsules are best absorbed when taken with a full meal, especially a fatty meal. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain), headache, and elevated liver enzymes. Itraconazole can have significant interactions with other drugs, so it is crucial to inform the doctor about all other medications being taken. Regular monitoring of liver function may be required during treatment.
