Italom 100 Capsule contains Itraconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal medication used to treat a variety of fungal infections. Itraconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of the fungal cell membrane, leading to the disruption of the cell membrane and eventual fungal cell death. This action makes it highly effective against a wide range of fungal infections, including those caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and other fungi.
Italom 100 is commonly prescribed for the treatment of superficial and systemic fungal infections, such as athlete's foot, ringworm, onychomycosis (fungal infections of the nails), and candidiasis (yeast infections). It is also used in the treatment of more serious systemic fungal infections, such as histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, and aspergillosis, especially in immunocompromised patients.
This medication is particularly important in managing fungal infections in patients with compromised immune systems, including those undergoing chemotherapy or organ transplant patients, where the risk of systemic fungal infections is higher.
Italom 100 Capsule is well-tolerated, offering significant effectiveness in treating fungal infections. It is typically taken once or twice a day, depending on the condition being treated, and is usually prescribed for a period ranging from several weeks to months, depending on the severity of the infection.
