Itracon 200 Capsule contains Itraconazole (200 mg). Here’s how it works:

• Inhibits Ergosterol Synthesis: The active ingredient in Itracon 200 Capsule, itraconazole, works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol. Ergosterol is a key component of the fungal cell membrane.

• Prevents Fungal Growth: By disrupting ergosterol synthesis, itraconazole affects the integrity of the fungal cell membrane. This inhibition prevents fungal cells from growing and replicating effectively, thereby managing the infection.

• Broad Spectrum Activity: An added benefit of itraconazole is that it's effective against a broad spectrum of fungi. Thus, it can be used to manage different types of fungal infections.

• Store Itracon 200 Capsule securely in a tightly-closed container.

• Keep it at a temperature below 25°C.

• Protect the medicine from excess moisture and heat.

• Ensure it remains out of reach from children's grasp.

• Always check the expiry date and use the medicine before it expires.

• Maintain good personal hygiene to prevent further fungal infections; regularly wash your hands, cleanse your body, change your clothes, and keep your surroundings clean.

• When managing oral thrush or oesophageal candidiasis, ensure you follow a balanced diet with adequate intake of probiotics such as yoghurt to support a healthy balance of bacteria in your mouth and gut.
