Description
Itraconazole Capsule BP 100 MG – Adults who get a fungal infection are treated with the antifungal drug itraconazole. This includes infection of the lungs, mouth, throat, toenails, or fingernails in other parts of the body.
Itraconazole, sold under the brand name Tolsura, should not be used to treat toenail or nail fungus. To prevent prescription errors, use only the brand and strength that your doctor has prescribed. There are other possible uses for itraconazole not covered in this medication guide.
Before taking this medicine
The benefits of a drug should be evaluated against the dangers when determining whether or not to use it. You will decide this together with your doctor. Consider the following when using this medicine:
Allergies
If you have ever experienced any unusual or adverse reaction to this medicine or any other medicine, tell your doctor immediately. Be sure to tell your healthcare provider if you have any other allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals.
Pediatric
The relationship of age to the effects of itraconazole is not a subject of appropriate investigation in children. There is no evidence of safety or effectiveness.
Geriatric
The usefulness of itraconazole in the elderly is not limited to geriatrics-specific issues that have not yet been demonstrated in appropriate studies. However, older people are at increased risk of developing age-related kidney, liver, or heart problems or temporary or permanent hearing loss, which may require caution and a change in the dose for patients taking itraconazole.
Feeding The Beast

Precautions of using Itraconazole Capsule
It is important that your doctor continuously monitor your progress to make sure this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to rule out any negative effects. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, contact your doctor. It is possible that you will need to take this medicine for several weeks or months before your infection gets better.
Before starting treatment for an infection of the fingernails or toes, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Use a highly effective form of birth control while taking this medicine and for at least two months after your last dose. Inform your doctor immediately if you think you have become pregnant while taking the medicine.
