Itraconol 100 Capsule 10 contains itraconazole (100 mg). Here's how it works:

• Inhibition of Ergosterol Synthesis: Itraconazole works by blocking the production of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. Ergosterol helps maintain the structure and function of these membranes.
• Increasing Cell Membrane Permeability: By inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, itraconazole increases the permeability of the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts the cellular environment and results in essential components leaking out.
• Fungal Growth Arrest: The disruption caused by itraconazole leads to growth arrest or death of susceptible fungi, effectively managing the infection by preventing new fungal growth and impairing existing ones.

• Store Itraconol 100 Capsule 10 at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C.
• Keep the capsules in their original packaging to protect them from light and moisture.

• Check the expiry date before use, and discard if the medicine has expired.

• If you have a fungal infection, maintain good personal hygiene to prevent the spread of fungi. Regularly clean your clothes, towels, and bed linen.
• A balanced diet can support your immune system. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains in your meals to improve your body's ability to fight infections.
