The therapeutic effect continues for 3 months for fingernails and 6 months for toenails after the end of treatment. 3. Systemic fungal infections In patients with impaired immune function, such as those with neutropenia, AIDS, or organ transplant recipients, the oral bioavailability of this medicine may be reduced; if necessary, increase the dose twofold. Aspergillosis: 200mg once daily; average treatment duration 2~5 months. For invasive or disseminated disease, increase to 200mg twice daily. Candidiasis: 100~200mg once daily; average treatment duration 3 weeks~7 months. Cryptococcal meningitis: 200mg twice daily; average treatment duration 2 months~1 year. Maintenance therapy: 200mg once daily. Paracoccidioidomycosis: 100mg once daily; average treatment duration 6 months. (Oral solution) To improve absorption, do not take this medicine with food.

After swallowing, do not rinse the mouth so that the medicine remains in the mouth for a longer time. 1. Oral and esophageal candidiasis Take 200 mg (20 mL) per day in 1~2 divided doses for 1 week. If there is no effect after 1 week, continue for 1 more week. 2. Fluconazole-resistant oral and esophageal candidiasis Take 200~400 mg (20~40 mL) per day in 1~2 divided doses for 2 weeks. If there is no effect after 2 weeks, continue for 2 more weeks. Even if symptoms do not improve, do not use 400 mg daily for more than 14 days. 3. Prevention of fungal infections In clinical trials, prophylactic treatment was initiated immediately before anticancer therapy and approximately 1 week before bone marrow transplant surgery. Deep fungal infections were confirmed in most patients with a neutrophil count below 100/μL. Treatment was continued until the neutrophil count recovered (1,000/μL). Pharmacokinetic values from clinical trials in patients with neutropenia showed considerable interindividual variability. Therefore, monitoring of blood concentrations should be considered, particularly in patients with gastrointestinal damage, patients with diarrhea, and when this medicine is administered for a prolonged period.
Children's dosage
