Itraconazole is an azole antifungal used to treat systemic and superficial fungal infections.

- Dermatophyte infections: reduces skin and nail fungal growth. - Onychomycosis: clears fungal infection of the nails. - Systemic candidiasis: treats invasive Candida infections. - Aspergillosis: manages chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. - Blastomycosis: combats Blastomyces dermatitidis infection.

Common side effects of itraconazole are generally mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea - Vomiting - Abdominal pain - Headache - Rash - Altered taste perception

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hepatotoxicity (elevated liver enzymes, hepatitis) - Severe skin reactions (Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis) - Congestive heart failure - QT interval prolongation - Anaphylactic reactions - Acute interstitial nephritis

Itraconazole requires careful monitoring due to its pharmacologic profile.

- Liver function monitoring: assess hepatic enzymes before and during therapy. - Drug interaction vigilance: avoid concomitant use with strong CYP3A4 inducers. - Pregnancy risk: contraindicated in pregnancy (Category D). - Cardiac assessment: caution in patients with heart failure. - Renal impairment: adjust dose if significant renal dysfunction exists. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and light.

Itraconazole has several clinically important drug interactions.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, or St. John's wort (strong CYP3A4 inducers). - Simvastatin or lovastatin (risk of severe myopathy). - Certain protease inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir) that markedly increase itraconazole levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Warfarin (enhanced anticoagulant effect). - Oral contraceptives (reduced efficacy). - Calcium channel blockers (e.g., verapamil) may increase plasma concentrations. - Macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin) may raise itraconazole levels. - HIV protease inhibitors (e.g., saquinavir) requiring dose adjustment.
