Summary

Main use
Treatment and prevention of recurrence of systemic and mucosal candidiasis and cryptococcosis; prevention of fungal infections
Who uses it
Adults · Children
Adult dosage
The route of administration should be determined based on the patient's clinical condition. Because the oral formulation is rapidly and almost completely absorbed, the doses of oral formulations (capsules, dry syrup) and injections are the same. Administer this drug by intravenous injection at a rate of approximately 5 - 10 mL/min. Oropharyngeal candidiasis: The usual dose is 50 mg once daily for 7 - 14 days; treatment may be extended at the physician's discretion. Chronic atrophic oral candidiasis (oral soreness caused by dentures): The usual dose is 50 mg once daily for 14 days. Dentures should also be disinfected locally. Other mucosal candidiasis (esophageal candidiasis, excluding vaginal candidiasis; noninvasive bronchopulmonary infections; candiduria; mucocutaneous candidiasis, etc.): The usual dose is 50 mg once daily for 14 - 30 days. For refractory mucosal candidiasis, the dose may be increased to 100 mg once daily. Systemic candidiasis, including candidemia, disseminated candidiasis, and other invasive Candida infections (peritoneal, endocardial, pulmonary, and urinary tract infections, etc.): The usual dose is 400 mg as a single dose on the first day, followed by 200 mg once daily from the next day. The dose may be increased to 400 mg once daily depending on the patient's response. The duration of treatment is determined according to clinical response and medical judgment. Cryptococcal meningitis and cryptococcosis at other sites: The usual dose is 400 mg as a single dose on the first day, followed by 200 - 400 mg once daily from the next day. The duration of treatment is determined by clinical and mycological response, but treatment is generally given for at least 6 - 8 weeks. To prevent recurrence of cryptococcal meningitis in patients with AIDS, administer 200 mg once daily indefinitely after the patient has completed initial treatment. Prevention of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients at risk due to neutropenia caused by cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or bone marrow transplantation: Administer 50 - 400 mg once daily, depending on the patient's risk of fungal infection. A dose of 400 mg once daily is recommended for patients at very high risk of systemic fungal infections, such as those undergoing bone marrow transplantation who have severe neutropenia or are expected to have prolonged neutropenia. In these patients, administer 400 mg starting 5 - 6 days before the expected onset of neutropenia and continue 400 mg for 1 week after the neutrophil count has increased to 1,000 cells/mm3 or above. The usual adult dose may be administered only when renal function is normal. In patients with renal impairment (creatinine clearance 50 mL/min or less), reduce the dose or extend the dosing interval. This drug is excreted mainly unchanged in the urine. No dose adjustment is necessary when administering a single dose. For multiple doses, administer the usual dose only on the first day, then adjust the dose as follows from the next day: Creatinine clearance (mL/min) >50: 100% of the usual dose Creatinine clearance (mL/min) ≤50 (not on dialysis): 50% of the usual dose Hemodialysis patients: 100% of the usual dose after each hemodialysis session Patients receiving hemodialysis should receive 100% of the usual dose after each hemodialysis session; on nondialysis days, administer a reduced dose according to creatinine clearance.
Children's dosage
Adult dose 100 mg: Pediatric dose 3 mg/kg Adult dose 200 mg: Pediatric dose 6 mg/kg Adult dose 400 mg: Pediatric dose 12 mg/kg Do not exceed a maximum of 400 mg. The safety and efficacy in infants younger than 6 months have not been established (see Precautions for Use). Oropharyngeal candidiasis: Administer 6 mg/kg on the first day, followed by 3 mg/kg once daily from the next day. Treatment should continue for at least 2 weeks to prevent recurrence. Esophageal candidiasis: Administer 6 mg/kg on the first day, followed by 3 mg/kg once daily from the next day. The dose may be increased to 12 mg/kg once daily depending on the patient's response. Administer for at least 3 weeks and for at least 2 weeks after symptoms resolve. Systemic candidiasis, including candidemia, disseminated candidiasis, and other invasive Candida infections (peritoneal, endocardial, pulmonary, and urinary tract infections, etc.): Administer 6 - 12 mg/kg once daily. The duration of treatment is determined according to clinical response and medical judgment. Cryptococcal meningitis: Administer 12 mg/kg on the first day, followed by 6 mg/kg once daily from the next day. The dose may be increased to 12 mg/kg once daily depending on the patient's response. Treatment should continue for 10 - 12 weeks after cerebrospinal fluid cultures become negative. To prevent recurrence of cryptococcal meningitis in patients with AIDS, administer 6 mg/kg once daily after the patient has completed initial treatment. Children with renal impairment should have the dosing interval extended and the dose reduced according to the same criteria used for adults with renal impairment, based on the degree of renal impairment. For doses below 10 mg, administer the syrup orally or the injection intravenously, depending on the child's clinical condition, to ensure accurate dosing.

This medication is used to treat various fungal infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. It is effective against candidiasis that occurs in the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, bronchi, skin, and mucous membranes, as well as systemic candidiasis including bloodstream infections. It also treats cryptococcal meningitis and other fungal infections in patients with weakened immune systems, such as those with AIDS or transplant recipients, and provides maintenance therapy for relapse prevention. The drug is also used for the prevention of fungal infections in patients with neutropenia following cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It is effectively used for the treatment and prevention of these various fungal infections.
