Mechanism of Action

Voriconazole works by inhibiting the fungal enzyme 14α-sterol demethylase, which is essential for the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption leads to weakened fungal cell membranes, stopping fungal growth and causing fungal cell death.

Dosage and Administration
