What is Itraconazole?

Itraconazole, the active ingredient in Itraconazol Cinfa, is an azole antifungal presented as an oral formulation for oral use. It treats a range of fungal infections in adults and children as prescribed by a healthcare professional. GNH USA supplies Itraconazol Cinfa as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Itraconazole used for?

Itraconazol Cinfa is an azole antifungal used to treat infections caused by susceptible fungi. - Dermatophytosis: eradicates skin infections caused by dermatophyte species. - Onychomycosis: clears fungal infection of the nails. - Blastomycosis: treats systemic infection caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis. - Histoplasmosis: manages disseminated disease due to Histoplasma capsulatum. - Coccidioidomycosis: combats infection by Coccidioides species. - Aspergillosis: addresses invasive disease caused by Aspergillus spp.

What are the side effects of Itraconazole?

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate stomach upset. - Vomiting: occasional emesis after dosing. - Abdominal pain: discomfort in the upper abdomen. - Headache: transient cranial pain. - Rash: mild skin erythema. - Elevated liver enzymes: transient increase in hepatic transaminases.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hepatotoxicity: severe liver injury requiring monitoring. - Congestive heart failure: fluid retention and reduced cardiac function. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis: severe skin reactions. - Visual disturbances: blurred vision or photophobia. - Severe hypokalemia: low potassium levels. - Arrhythmias: irregular heart rhythms.

What precautions apply to Itraconazole?

Before initiating therapy, consider the following precautions: - Liver function monitoring: obtain baseline tests and repeat periodically. - Drug interaction review: assess concomitant medications for CYP3A4 involvement. - Cardiac status: avoid in patients with existing heart failure. - Pregnancy assessment: use only if potential benefit outweighs risk. - Renal impairment: evaluate kidney function and adjust if necessary. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and light.

What does Itraconazole interact with?

Itraconazol Cinfa may interact with several medicines. Major Interactions (Avoid): - Rifampin: strong CYP3A4 inducer that markedly reduces itraconazole exposure. - Ketoconazole: additive hepatotoxic potential when combined. - Other CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin): decrease antifungal efficacy. Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Warfarin: itraconazole can increase INR, requiring closer coagulation monitoring. - Oral contraceptives: may reduce hormonal efficacy, consider alternative contraception.

Frequently asked questions

What is Itraconazol Cinfa used for?+
Itraconazol Cinfa is prescribed to treat a variety of fungal infections, including skin infections such as dermatophytosis, nail infections (onychomycosis), and systemic mycoses like blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, and invasive aspergillosis. The drug is used when the causative organism is known or suspected to be susceptible to itraconazole.
How does itraconazole work?+
Itraconazole blocks the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, a member of the cytochrome P450 family. By inhibiting this enzyme, the drug prevents the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, leading to membrane destabilisation and inhibition of fungal growth.
What is the usual dose of Itraconazol Cinfa?+
The exact dosage of Itraconazol Cinfa is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the type and severity of the infection, patient weight, age, liver function, and other clinical factors. Healthcare professionals tailor the regimen to each individual case.
Is Itraconazol Cinfa safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for itraconazole during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used when the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss risks with their healthcare provider.
How do I order Itraconazol Cinfa from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and necessary import documentation.
How does Itraconazol Cinfa compare with the main alternative drug?+
The most common alternative in the azole class is fluconazole. Itraconazole has a broader spectrum against dermatophytes, dimorphic fungi, and some molds, whereas fluconazole is more active against Candida species but less effective for onychomycosis and certain systemic infections. Choice depends on the pathogen and infection site.
How should I store Itraconazol Cinfa?+
Store Itraconazol Cinfa at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original container, protect it from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Do not store in the bathroom or near a kitchen sink where humidity is high.
How is Itraconazol Cinfa given or administered?+
Itraconazol Cinfa is taken orally, usually with food or a full glass of water to improve absorption. The tablet or capsule should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed unless the prescribing information specifically allows a liquid formulation.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while taking Itraconazol Cinfa?+
Serious adverse events include hepatotoxicity (liver injury), congestive heart failure due to fluid retention, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, and visual disturbances. Patients should report any signs of liver dysfunction, shortness of breath, swelling, or rash promptly.
Who should not use Itraconazol Cinfa?+
Itraconazol Cinfa is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to itraconazole or any azole antifungal, patients with established congestive heart failure, and those with severe hepatic impairment. Caution is also advised for patients taking strong CYP3A4 inducers or drugs that may cause additive toxicity.
