What does it do?

Itraconazole is a drug belonging to the antifungal class, used to treat systemic fungal infections in the body. This ingredient is effective against various fungal infections, particularly those affecting the skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs.

Itraconazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane, compromising the structure and function of the fungal cell membrane. As a result, the growth and proliferation of the fungus are halted, eventually leading to its death.
