    About this item
    DESCRIPTION:

    Itraconazole is an orally-administered, synthetic, antifungal trioazole. It treats skin and generalized systemic infections, primarily those associated with fungal or yeast organisms. It can treat severe fungal infections like blastomycosis or cryptococcosis, and it's also effective against skin infections, dermatophytes (ringworm), and toenail infections.

    Key Benefits:

  • Itraconazole works to stop the enzymes that cause ergosterol production, an important part of fungal cell walls.
  • By causing structural inadequacies in the fungi, the organism leaks and dies.

    Formulated For: For use in cats and dogs.

    How is Medication Given? Follow your veterinarian's directions when using this product.

    What Results Can I Expect? Itraconazole treats a variety of fungal infections, such as:

  • Aspergillosis
  • Candidiasis
  • Histoplasmosis
  • Blastomycosis
  • Malassezia or Yeast Dermatitis
  • Cryptococcosis (Window Washer's Disease)
  • Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever)
  • Dermatophytosis (Ringworm)

    What Form Does Medication Come In? Capsules

    Dose and Administration: Capsules are sold individually in a single strength (100 mg).

    Possible Side Effects: Potential adverse reactions include:

  • Vomiting
  • Swollen Limbs
  • Decreased Appetite
  • Lethargy

    Precautions

  • The risk of relapse is enhanced when not administered to completion. Dogs can appear to be feeling better, but the entire course of treatment is still needed to treat the infection fully. Fungal infections require a long course of treatment because they resist treatment more than a bacterial infection.
  • Administer cautiously to dogs with liver disease.
  • Not for use in pregnant animals.
  • Keep away from children and animals.

    Storage Recommendations: Store in a cool and dry location. Shield from direct sunlight.

    In Case of Overdose: Contact the nearest emergency pet clinic.
