About Brisonox

Brisonox® contains Itraconazole 100 mg, an oral triazole antifungal medicine used for the treatment of certain fungal infections. Itraconazole works by inhibiting fungal ergosterol synthesis, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane.

Therapeutic Uses

Itraconazole capsules may be prescribed for selected fungal infections, including:

• Dermatophyte fungal infections
• Nail fungal infections (onychomycosis)
• Certain systemic fungal infections such as histoplasmosis and blastomycosis
• Selected aspergillus infections when clinically appropriate
  
  The exact indication should be confirmed by a healthcare professional.
  

How to Take

Itraconazole capsules should generally be taken with a full meal and swallowed whole. The capsule and oral-solution formulations are not interchangeable.

Dosage

The dosage and duration depend on the type and severity of the fungal infection. Use only according to the physician's prescription. For example, approved regimens for some infections use 200 mg/day, while other conditions require different schedules.

Important Safety Information

Itraconazole has clinically important drug interactions and can rarely cause serious liver injury. It can also have important cardiac effects, including worsening or causing heart failure in susceptible patients. Patients should inform their doctor about all medicines they are taking and seek medical advice if they develop symptoms suggestive of liver problems or heart failure.
