Uses of Itraconazole 200 mg Capsule
- Fungal infections of the skin and nails (such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, or onychomycosis)
- Systemic fungal infections affecting the lungs or internal organs
- Oral and vaginal fungal infections (like candidiasis)
- Fungal infections resistant to topical treatment
Itraconazole is often prescribed when other antifungals fail or relapse frequently, making it a powerful and reliable option in fungal therapy.
Mechanism of Action
Itraconazole works by blocking the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak and leaky, causing the fungus to die. It effectively targets deep-seated fungal infections, as it accumulates in keratin-rich tissues like nails, skin, and hair, ensuring complete clearance.
In simpler terms, Itraconazole stops the fungus from growing, weakens its structure, and helps the body remove the infection naturally.
