A small arrow pointing down

Itraconazole 50 mg Capsules (Vet) is a potent antifungal medication specifically designed to combat a range of fungal infections in animals. These include conditions such as ringworm, blastomycosis, aspergillosis, histoplasmosis, and cryptococcosis. The medication functions by inhibiting the growth and spread of fungi, thereby effectively controlling the infection. It is crucial to understand that itraconazole is not designed to treat bacterial or viral infections.

For the medication to work effectively, it is essential to administer it exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian. It is not advisable to alter the dosage by taking more or less than the prescribed amount. The full course of treatment should be completed, even if the animal appears to be feeling better. This is to ensure that the infection is entirely eradicated and does not recur.

If a dose is missed, it should be administered as soon as it is remembered. However, if it is nearly time for the next dose, the missed dose should be skipped, and the regular dosage schedule should be resumed. Under no circumstances should a double dose be administered.

It is also crucial to inform your veterinarian about any other medications, vitamins, or supplements that the animal is currently taking. This is because itraconazole can interact with other substances, which may affect its efficacy or cause adverse reactions.

Common side effects of itraconazole include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. If the animal experiences any of these side effects, it is important to contact your veterinarian immediately. If you have any queries or concerns about using itraconazole to treat ringworm, blastomycosis, aspergillosis, histoplasmosis, or cryptococcosis, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.
