Itraconazole

Itraconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections. It works by stopping the growth of fungi, including those that cause conditions like athlete's foot, toenail infections, and certain systemic infections. It is typically prescribed when topical treatments are not effective or for more severe infections. Itraconazole is taken orally, usually in capsule or liquid form, and you should follow the healthcare provider's instructions closely. While effective, it can have side effects and interact with other medications, so medical supervision is important during its use.
