Itracip 100 Capsule

Description

Itracip 100 Capsule is an oral antifungal medication used to treat a wide range of systemic and superficial fungal infections. The active ingredient, Itraconazole (100 mg), belongs to the triazole class of antifungals and works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. This action weakens the fungal cells, preventing their growth and leading to their eventual elimination.
