Voriconazole

Voriconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat serious fungal infections, particularly those caused by a group of fungi called Aspergillus and certain Candida species. It works by inhibiting the growth of these fungi, helping the immune system to eliminate the infection. Voriconazole is commonly prescribed for patients with weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy or organ transplants. It is available in oral and intravenous forms and requires monitoring due to potential side effects, including effects on the liver and interactions with other medications. Proper use under medical supervision is essential for effective treatment.
