About this item
Itacare is a broad-spectrum agent, meaning it is effective against many different types of fungi and yeasts. It is particularly valued for its ability to penetrate deep into the skin, hair, and nails, where it remains active long after the treatment course is finished. This "depot effect" makes it highly effective for stubborn infections like fungal nail disease that other treatments might miss.
Dosage of Itacare 100mgThis is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM).
Dosage depends on the type of infection being treated.
- Skin Infections: Usually 100mg to 200mg once daily for 7 to 15 days.
- Nail Infections: Often taken in "pulse therapy" (one week of high-dose treatment followed by three weeks off) for several months.
- Vaginal Thrush: Typically a high dose taken for just one day.
Proper Administration
- With Food: Itacare must be taken immediately after a full meal. Stomach acid is required to dissolve the capsule properly; taking it with food ensures the best absorption.
- Swallow Whole: Do not chew or break the capsules.
- Consistency: Take it at the same time each day to maintain steady levels in your system.
- Complete the Course: Do not stop taking the medicine early, even if symptoms improve. Fungi can linger, and stopping too soon may cause the infection to return.
How to Store and Dispose of Itacare 100mg
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused or expired capsules to a pharmacy for safe disposal.
Quick Tips for Itacare 100mg
- Skip the Antacids: Drugs that neutralize stomach acid (like Gaviscon or Omeprazole) prevent Itacare from being absorbed. Take Itacare at least 2 hours apart from antacids.
- Nail Growth: For nail infections, the healthy nail will only grow out after you have finished the treatment. This can take several months.
- Avoid "Double Dosing": If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember with food. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Itacare 100mg
- Heart Health: Do NOT use if you have a history of congestive heart failure.
- Pregnancy: Do NOT use during pregnancy unless specifically directed by a specialist for a life-threatening infection. Effective contraception is required during and for one cycle after treatment.
- Allergies: Do NOT use if you are allergic to Itraconazole or other "azole" antifungals (like Fluconazole).
Side Effects of Itacare 100mg
- Common: Nausea, stomach pain, headache, or dizziness.
- Rare but Serious: Dark urine, yellowing of the skin/eyes (jaundice), or persistent vomiting—these could be signs of liver issues.
- Action: If you experience shortness of breath, unusual swelling, or sudden weight gain, contact your doctor immediately as these may be signs of heart failure.
Precautions and Warnings
- Liver Function: If you are on long-term treatment, your doctor may perform blood tests to check your liver health.
- Drug Interactions: Itacare interacts with many medicines (including some cholesterol and heart meds). Always tell your pharmacist what other medications you are taking.
- Hearing Loss: In rare cases, transient or permanent hearing loss has been reported; consult a doctor if you notice ear ringing or hearing changes.
- Pack Size: Usually 4, 10, or 28 capsules.
- Form: Oral Capsule.
- Active Ingredient: Itraconazole 100mg.
