Unitra 1% Dusting Powder

Unitra 1% Dusting Powder is a medication for treating severe fungal or yeast infections. The oral solution is specifically for oropharyngeal or esophageal candidiasis (like thrush). The capsules/tablets are used for various fungal infections, such as aspergillosis, and blastomycosis, or histoplasmosis.

Itraconazole, like many antifungal medications, operates by inhibiting the growth and replication of fungi or yeast in the body It achieves this by targeting a crucial component of the fungal cell membranes called ergosterol, which is essential for their structural integrity.

Take itraconazole two hours before or one hour after antacids. Antacids can make this medication less effective by reducing how much of it your body absorbs. If you have low or no stomach acid or if you take medications that decrease stomach acid, it's better to take itraconazole with an acidic drink, such as cola.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.
