I-Tyza Capsule

Description

I-Tyza Capsule contains Itraconazole (100mg), a broad-spectrum triazole antifungal medicine. It is widely prescribed for the treatment of systemic and superficial fungal infections affecting the skin, nails, mouth, throat, lungs, and genitals. Itraconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell wall becomes weak, leading to the death of the fungus.

It is highly effective against a wide range of fungi, including dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds. Doctors often prescribe it for resistant infections when topical antifungal therapy is insufficient.

Uses

• Treatment of onychomycosis (fungal infection of nails)

• Dermatophytosis (ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot)

• Oral thrush and esophageal candidiasis

• Recurrent vaginal candidiasis

• Fungal infections of the lungs, urinary tract, and skin

How It Works

Itraconazole belongs to the azole antifungal class. It blocks the enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase, which prevents the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption of the cell wall causes leakage of cellular contents, inhibits fungal growth, and ultimately leads to fungal cell death.

Its broad antifungal activity makes it highly useful in both superficial and systemic fungal infections.
