Used For:

Itraconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat a variety of fungal infections, such as those affecting the skin, nails, mouth, throat, lungs, or internal organs. It is commonly used to treat conditions like blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, aspergillosis, and fungal infections caused by Candida species. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of itraconazole include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, and dizziness. Less common but more serious side effects can include liver toxicity (hepatitis), heart problems, and skin rashes. It may also interact with other medications, leading to increased risk of adverse effects.

Precautions:

• Avoid itraconazole if you have a history of liver disease, heart failure, or any significant heart problems, as it can exacerbate these conditions.
• It should not be taken with certain medications, such as those that affect heart rhythm (e.g., cisapride, quinidine), as it can cause life-threatening heart arrhythmias.
• Itraconazole may interact with medications like statins, anticoagulants, and certain antidepressants, so it's important to inform your doctor about all the medications you're taking.
• It should not be used during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary and prescribed by a doctor.
• Monitor liver function and other health markers during prolonged use.
