Itracon Capsule 100 mg contains Itraconazole, a broad-spectrum triazole antifungal medicine used for the treatment of various fungal infections affecting the skin, nails, mouth, lungs, and other internal organs. It is commonly prescribed when infections are moderate to severe or when topical treatments are not sufficient.

Itraconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak and damaged, leading to inhibition of fungal growth and eventual cell death. This makes Itraconazole effective against a wide range of dermatophytes, yeasts, and systemic fungal infections.

Itracon Capsule is widely used for conditions such as ringworm, fungal nail infections, oral thrush, and certain deep or systemic fungal infections under medical supervision.

Composition
