How Itraconazole 100mg capsule  Works

Itraconazole belongs to the azole class of antifungal medications.

Mechanism of Action

Itraconazole works by inhibiting the fungal enzyme 14-alpha-demethylase, which is essential for the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane.

Without ergosterol:

• The fungal cell membrane becomes weak and unstable.
• The fungus loses its ability to grow and reproduce.
• Essential cellular contents leak out.
• The fungal cells eventually die or stop multiplying.

This targeted mechanism effectively eliminates fungal infections while minimising effects on human cells.
