The active ingredient itraconazole works by preventing fungi from producing ergosterol, which keeps their cell membranes firm. When ergosterol is missing the membrane breaks down, the fungal cells cannot survive and the infection is brought under control. One capsule gives 100 mg of the ingredient.

Must not be used by anyone with a known allergy (hypersensitivity) to itraconazole. Must not be used with certain other medicines handled by the same liver enzyme (CYP3A4), such as colchicine, fesoterodine, solifenacin and eliglustat under certain conditions, because their blood levels can rise; tell the doctor about every medicine being taken. Check with a doctor first: pregnancy — itraconazole is used during pregnancy only when the doctor decides the benefit is greater than the risk. Check with a doctor first: history of heart failure or other heart disease. Check with a doctor first: liver disease.
