Itaspor

Itaspor is an antifungal medication containing Itraconazole. It works by preventing fungi from producing ergosterol, a vital component of their cell membrane, which halts their growth and clears the infection.

Dosage by Body Weight

Must be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor. Capsules should be swallowed whole immediately after a full meal to ensure optimal absorption. The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection.
