Introduction

Itraconazole Capsules 130 mg (Supra-Bioavailable), marketed under the brand name CONARIS SB 130, belong to the class of antifungal medicines used to treat a wide range of fungal infections. The supra-bioavailable formulation enhances absorption, ensuring better therapeutic effects at a lower dose compared to conventional itraconazole.

This medicine is especially effective in treating fungal infections of the lungs, nails, skin, and systemic fungal infections that may not respond well to standard antifungal treatments.

Composition

Each capsule of CONARIS SB 130 contains:

• Itraconazole Capsules 130 mg (Supra-Bioavailable)

Mechanism of Action

Itraconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak, leading to leakage of cellular contents and ultimately causing the death of the fungal cell.

The supra-bioavailable formulation increases drug absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, providing more consistent plasma levels and enhanced efficacy.
