Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Itraconazole capsules.
Itraconazole belongs to a class of drugs known as azole antifungals. It acts by preventing the fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol. Ergosterol is essential for the fungal cell membrane and lack of this substance slows down the organism. This makes the fungi to be weakened and damaged. Itraconazole is excreted as inactive metabolite; about 54% is excreted via the feces and 35% through the urine.
