Composition

• Itraconazole 100 mg per capsule

Mechanism of Action

Itraconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption weakens the cell membrane, leading to leakage of cellular contents and ultimately causing the death of the fungal cells. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it effective against dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds.
