What are itraconazole capsules used for, and how effective are they for fungal infections? - #14713
I was recently prescribed itraconazole capsules for a fungal infection, but I don’t know much about them. I read that they are antifungal medications, but how do they actually work? What exactly are itraconazole capsules used for, and how do they treat fungal infections? Are they only for skin and nail infections, or can they also treat internal fungal infections? Also, how long do they take to show results, and do fungal infections come back after stopping the medication? I also want to know if itraconazole capsules have any side effects. Does long-term use affect the liver, and are there foods or medicines that should be avoided while taking them? Are there Ayurvedic or natural antifungal remedies that work just as well? If anyone has taken itraconazole capsules, what infection were you treating, and did the medication work? Did you experience any side effects, and how did you manage them?
