Sporanox (active ingredient: itraconazole) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Fungal Infections: Sporanox is used for the treatment of various fungal infections, including aspergillosis, histoplasmosis, and blastomycosis.
  2. Onychomycosis: It is also indicated for the treatment of toenail and fingernail fungal infections (onychomycosis) caused by dermatophytes.

Sporanox belongs to a class of drugs known as triazole antifungals, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby preventing fungal growth and replication.

Sporanox is available in capsule form to be taken orally. Sporanox treatment where you take the medication twice daily for one week followed by three weeks where the medication is stopped. To ensure maximum absorption of the medication, Sporanox should be taken 2 hours before or 1 hour after antacids as these may decrease its absorption. Individuals with decreased or no stomach acid or those taking medication that decreases stomach acid should also take Sporanox with an acidic drink such as cola. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more detailed instructions before taking Sporanox.

The recommended dosages of Itraconazole can vary depending on the specific indication for which it is being used. Here are some examples of the dosages for different indications:

  • For adults with fungal infections: A loading dose of 200 mg (2 capsules) three times a day for the first 3 days, followed by 200 mg (2 capsules) once daily. The maximum daily dose is 400 mg.
  • For onychomycosis (fungal infection of the nail): 200 mg (2 capsules) once daily for 12 consecutive weeks.
  • For histoplasmosis or blastomycosis: 200-400 mg (2-4 capsules) once or twice daily for at least 12 months.

However, the specific dosage and duration of treatment can vary based on factors such as age, weight, and underlying medical conditions, and should be determined by a healthcare provider. Follow the recommended dosages and complete the full course of treatment as prescribed.

Take Sporanox for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms have improved after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the fungal infection and can also increase the risk of developing antifungal resistance.
