Product Name: Sporanox
Drug Name: Itraconazole
Packaging Type: Packets of 15 x 100 mg Capsules
Manufacturer: Janssen Pharmaceuticals
Use: Sporanox goes into your bloodstream and travels to the source of the infection underneath the nail so that it can fight the infection there. Improved nails may not be obvious for several months after the treatment period is finished because it usually takes about 6 months to grow a new fingernail and 12 months to grow a new toenail.
How to take it: Always take Sporanox during or right after a full meal. Your doctor will decide the right dose for you. Depending on your infection, you will take Sporanox once a day for 12 weeks, or twice a day for 1 week in a "pulse" dosing schedule. Do not skip any doses. Be sure to finish all your Sporanox as prescribed by your doctor.
Side effects: The most common side effects that cause people to stop treatment either for a short time or completely include: skin rash, high triglyceride test results, high liver test results, and digestive system problems (such as nausea, bloating, and diarrhoea).
Precautions: Tell your doctor and pharmacist the name of all the prescription and non-prescription medicines you are taking, including dietary supplements and herbal remedies. Also tell your doctor about any other medical conditions you have had, especially heart, lung, liver, or kidney conditions. Sporanox could have a bad effect with other medicaions. Never take Sporanox if you have a fungal nail infection and are pregnant or planning to become pregnant within 2 months after you have finished your treatment.
