Sporanox (Sporanox)
General information
Sporanox belongs to the family of medications called antifungals. It is used to treat certain types of fungal infections, both internally (inside the body) and externally (skin and nails): infections such as blastomycosis, which infects the lungs, bones, and skin, histoplasmosis, which affects the lungs, heart, and blood, and aspergillosis, which affects the lungs and kidneys and sometimes other various organs, are very serious conditions which require prompt and accurate treatment. It works by preventing the fungus from growing.
Directions
Take Sporanox exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The recommended adult dose of itraconazole ranges from 100 mg once daily after a full meal to 200 mg twice daily after meals. The length of treatment depends on the condition being treated. Itraconazole capsules should be taken right after a full meal. Grapefruit juice may reduce the effectiveness of itraconazole.
