What does it do?

Isavuconazole sulfate belongs to the triazole class of antifungal medications. It is primarily used to treat disseminated fungal infections. This ingredient works by inhibiting the growth and proliferation of fungal cells.

Isavuconazole sulfate disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, which is a component of the fungal cell membrane. As a result, the fungal cell membrane is damaged, leading to the death of the fungus or suppression of its proliferation. Consequently, it effectively treats systemic fungal infections.
