Itracon SUBA Capsule 65 mg contains Itraconazole in a Super Bioavailable (SUBA) formulation, designed to improve absorption and enhance antifungal effectiveness. It is used for the treatment of a wide range of fungal infections affecting the skin, nails, mouth, and internal organs. The SUBA technology helps deliver better and more consistent drug absorption compared to conventional itraconazole formulations.

Itraconazole is a triazole antifungal medicine that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak and dysfunctional, leading to inhibition of fungal growth and eventual cell death. This makes it effective against dermatophytes, yeasts, and systemic fungal pathogens.

Itracon SUBA Capsule is commonly prescribed for conditions such as ringworm, fungal nail infections (onychomycosis), oral and esophageal candidiasis, and systemic fungal infections when improved bioavailability is required or when conventional itraconazole shows variable absorption.

Composition

Each capsule contains:

• Itraconazole 65 mg (SUBA formulation)

Indications

Itracon SUBA Capsule is indicated for:

• Dermatophytosis (ringworm infections)
• Tinea infections (skin, groin, body)
• Onychomycosis (fungal nail infections)
• Oral and esophageal candidiasis
• Systemic fungal infections (as prescribed by a physician)
• Cases requiring improved itraconazole absorption

How It Works

Itraconazole inhibits the fungal enzyme responsible for converting lanosterol into ergosterol. This disrupts fungal cell membrane integrity, leading to leakage of cell contents and inhibition of fungal growth. The SUBA formulation enhances bioavailability, ensuring more reliable therapeutic levels in the body.

• Use strictly as prescribed by a registered physician.
• Usually taken once or twice daily after meals for optimal absorption.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water.
