What It’s Good For
Itraconazole remains a drug of choice for some
dimorphic fungal infections, like histoplasmosis. It
once had a larger role in the management and prophylaxis
of aspergillosis and other mold infections,
but it has been largely replaced by voriconazole.
Itraconazole capsules are also used for the treatment
of onychomycosis.
Don’t Forget!
Watch for those drug interactions, and be sure to
counsel your patients on how to take their itraconazole
formulation.
