What is Itraconazole (Generic Sporanox) and what are its uses?
Sporanox (Itraconazole) is an antifungal type of antibiotic.
Sporanox treats serious fungal infections such as aspergillosis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and fungal infection localized to the toenails and fingernails (onychomycosis).
How does Itraconazole (Generic Sporanox) treat?
Sporanox belongs to a class of drugs known as the triazoles. Sporanox is used in the treatment of fungal infections and works by interfering with their growth and repair mechanisms.
Sporanox inhibits the production of a molecule called ergosterol, which is a component of the fungal cell membrane. Damage to this membrane cannot be repaired and this interferes with the cells ability to reproduce.
Sporanox can be used in the treatment of a number of different types of fungal infections, including those of the genitals, mouth and skin. Sporanox is also useful in treating systemic (whole body) fungal infections and to prevent them from developing in those with a depleted immune system.
Dosage: How should you take Itraconazole (Generic Sporanox)?
If only fingernails are infected, treatment is given in two 7-day-long sessions during which you take 200 milligrams of Sporanox twice a day, with a 3-week rest period between sessions.
Symptoms of Sporanox overdose include
Store Sporanox at or below 25 degrees C (77 degrees F). Do not freeze. Throw away any unused amount of Sporanox after the expiry date.
