Vorizol Tablet 200 mg contains Voriconazole 200 mg, a potent broad-spectrum antifungal agent from the triazole class. It is specifically designed for the treatment of severe fungal infections in adults, including invasive aspergillosis, systemic candidiasis, and other life-threatening mycoses.

Voriconazole works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, inhibiting growth and promoting fungal cell death. Vorizol Tablet 200 mg offers a convenient oral therapy for serious fungal infections, making it suitable for patients who require high-dose antifungal treatment or continuation of therapy outside hospital settings.

Composition

• Voriconazole 200 mg per tablet

Mechanism of Action

Voriconazole in Vorizol Tablet 200 mg acts by:

1. Inhibition of fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme (14α-sterol demethylase) – Blocks the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane.

2. Disruption of fungal cell membrane synthesis – Causes increased permeability, leading to fungal cell death.

3. Fungistatic and fungicidal activity – Depending on the fungal species and drug concentration, it can stop growth or directly kill fungi.

4. Broad-spectrum antifungal coverage – Effective against Aspergillus spp., Candida spp., Fusarium spp., and Scedosporium spp.

5. Rapid tissue penetration – Achieves therapeutic levels in plasma, lungs, liver, CNS, and eyes, allowing treatment of systemic and invasive infections.

This mechanism makes Vorizol 200 mg highly effective in critical care, oncology, and immunocompromised patients.
