What is Oral Itraconazole, and how does it treat fungal infections?

Itraconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal medication that treats both systemic and localized fungal infections, including aspergillosis, onychomycosis, and tinea infections. It works by disrupting fungal cell membranes.

Who is a good candidate for Oral Itraconazole?

It is typically prescribed for individuals with severe fungal infections or those unresponsive to other antifungal treatments.

How long does it take Itraconazole to work?

For nail infections, treatment can last 6–12 weeks or longer. Skin infections may resolve in 2–4 weeks with consistent use.

This treatment is prescribed for adults with confirmed fungal infections of the fingernails or toenails, particularly when topical treatments are not effective. It is taken as an oral capsule, often in pulse or continuous dosing schedules. See pricing details here.
