About Itraconazole Capsules

Itraconazole Capsules are antifungal medications that contain Itraconazole as the active ingredient. These capsules are prescribed by doctors for the treatment of a variety of fungal infections, including those of the skin, hair, nails, mouth, throat, and esophagus, as well as systemic fungal infections. Itraconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, leading to the disruption of the fungal cells and their eventual death. These capsules come in a pack of 10x1x10 Capsules, and the dosage may vary depending on the severity of the infection and the individual patient's condition. The benefits of Itraconazole Capsules include their effectiveness, convenient dosing, long-lasting effects, improved quality of life, and safe and well-tolerated nature. However, caution should be taken while using these capsules, and it is important to follow the dosage and usage instructions provided by the doctor or pharmacist.

Composition of Itraconazole Capsules

TINIDERM/TINIDERM FORTE Capsules both contain the active ingredient Itraconazole, which is a synthetic triazole antifungal medication. 

Itraconazole belongs to the azole antifungal group and works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, which is a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. This leads to the disruption of the fungal cells and the eventual death of the fungus. 

TINIDERM Capsules contain 100 mg of Itraconazole as the active ingredient. This dosage is typically prescribed for milder fungal infections, such as dermatophytosis (fungal infection of the skin) or onychomycosis (fungal infection of the nails). It is also used to treat oral and esophageal thrush and systemic fungal infections in certain cases. 

TINIDERM FORTE Capsules, on the other hand, contain a higher dosage of 200 mg of Itraconazole per capsule. This dosage is typically prescribed for more severe fungal infections or when the standard dosage of 100 mg is not effective. TINIDERM FORTE Capsules are used to treat systemic fungal infections, such as aspergillosis, histoplasmosis, and blastomycosis, as well as fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails. 

It is important to note that the dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the fungal infection, the age and health status of the patient, and other factors that the prescribing doctor may consider. It is crucial to follow the doctor's dosage and usage instructions carefully to ensure optimal treatment outcomes and minimize the risk of side effects.
