Itraconazole is an azole antifungal used to treat infections caused by susceptible fungi. - Dermatophyte infections: effective in treating skin infections caused by dermatophyte fungi. - Onychomycosis: improves nail health by eradicating fungal growth in infected nails. - Blastomycosis: clears systemic infection caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis. - Histoplasmosis: resolves disseminated disease from Histoplasma capsulatum. - Coccidioidomycosis: treats pulmonary and extrapulmonary infection by Coccidioides species. - Aspergillosis: combats invasive disease caused by Aspergillus species.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate stomach upset. - Vomiting: occasional emesis. - Abdominal pain: discomfort in the upper abdomen. - Headache: transient cranial pain. - Rash: skin redness or itching. - Taste disturbances: altered or reduced taste perception.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hepatotoxicity: elevated liver enzymes or liver injury. - Severe skin reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Cardiac failure: worsening of pre‑existing heart conditions. - Visual disturbances: blurred vision or photophobia. - Anaphylaxis: rare severe allergic reaction. - Severe liver injury: hepatic necrosis or failure.

Before initiating therapy, consider the following precautions: - Monitor liver function: obtain baseline tests and repeat periodically. - Avoid strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: concurrent use may raise itraconazole levels. - Assess cardiac status: use cautiously in patients with heart failure. - Use with caution in renal impairment: dose adjustment may be required. - Store at ambient temperature below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Itraconazole has several notable drug interactions. Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin): may increase itraconazole concentrations. - Rifampin and other CYP inducers: may reduce antifungal efficacy. - QT‑prolonging agents (e.g., quinidine, sotalol): increase risk of arrhythmia. Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Statins (simvastatin, lovastatin): heightened risk of myopathy. - Oral contraceptives: possible reduction in contraceptive effectiveness. - Warfarin: potential increase in INR and bleeding risk.
