Itrazole

Itrazole (Itraconazole) is a type of antifungal drug which is prescribed by doctors as a treatment for fungal infections that can affect various parts of the body, such as the lungs, toenails and fingernails. It goes into your bloodstream and travels to the source of the infection underneath the nail so that it can fight the infection there. Improved nails may not be obvious for several months after the treatment period is finished because it usually takes about 6 months to grow a new fingernail and 12 months to grow a new toenail.

Always take Itrazole (Itraconazole) during or right after a full meal. Your physician will decide the right dose for you. Depending on your infection, you will be told to take it once a day for 12 weeks, or twice a day for 1 week in a "pulse" dosing schedule. Do not skip any doses. Be sure to finish all your medication as prescribed by your physician.

The most common side effects of Itrazole (Itraconazole) that cause people to stop treatment either for a short time or completely include:

• skin rash
• high triglyceride test results
• high liver test results
• nausea
• bloating
• diarrhoea

Tell your physician about any other medical conditions you have had, especially heart, lung, liver, or kidney conditions. It could have a bad effect with other medicaions.

Never take it if you have a fungal nail infection and are pregnant or planning to become pregnant within 2 months after you have finished your treatment.
