Itraconazole (marketed as Sporanox® by Janssen Pharmaceutica) is a triazole antifungal agent that is prescribed to patients with fungal infections. The drug may be given orally or intravenously.
Pharmacology
The mechanism of action of itraconazole is the same as the other azole antifungals: it inhibits cytochrome P450 oxidase mediated synthesis of ergosterol.
Indication
Itraconazole has a broader spectrum of activity than fluconazole (but not as broad as voriconazole or posaconazole). In particular, it is active against aspergillus, which fluconazole is not. It is also licenced for use in blastomycosis, histoplasmosis and onychomycosis. More on [ Itraconazole ]
