Sufficient stomach acidity is required to ensure absorption of this medicine. Therefore, medicines that neutralize stomach acid should be taken at least 2 hours before or at least 2 hours after taking itraconazole. For the same reason, if you are taking medicines that reduce stomach acid production, take itraconazole with a cola drink (see section 3 “How to take itraconazole cinfa”).

If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Taking itraconazole cinfa with food and drinks

Take this medicine immediately after finishing one of your main meals. If you are taking a medicine that regulates stomach acid production, it is recommended to take this medicine with a cola drink.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you might be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Pregnancy

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.

This medicine will not be used during pregnancy.

If you are of childbearing age and could become pregnant, consult your doctor. You must use effective contraception to ensure you do not become pregnant while taking this medicine. Because this medicine may remain in the body for some time, you should continue contraceptive measures until your next menstrual period after completing treatment with this medicine (see section 2 “Do not take itraconazole cinfa”).

Breastfeeding

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.

If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking itraconazole, as small amounts of the medicine may pass into breast milk.

Driving and using machines

Itraconazole may sometimes cause dizziness, blurred/double vision, or hearing loss. If you experience any of these symptoms, do not drive or operate machinery.

itraconazole cinfa contains sucrose

This medicine contains sucrose. If your doctor has diagnosed you with an intolerance to certain sugars, consult them before taking this medicine.

3. How to take itraconazole cinfa

Follow exactly the instructions for use of this medicine given by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Remember to take your medicine.

Your doctor will tell you how long to take this medicine. Do not stop treatment early. If you think the effect of the medicine is too strong or too weak, inform your doctor or pharmacist.

You should take this medicine immediately after meals, as it is better absorbed this way. Swallow the capsules whole with some water. The number of capsules you need to take and for how long depends on the type of fungus and the location of the infection. Your doctor will tell you exactly how much itraconazole you should take.

There must be sufficient stomach acidity to ensure proper absorption of this medicine. Therefore, medicines that neutralize stomach acidity should be taken either two hours after taking this medicine or two hours before taking itraconazole. For the same reason, if you are taking medicines that regulate stomach acid production, take itraconazole with a cola drink.

Interrupt treatment

In skin infections, lesions will disappear a few weeks after treatment ends. This is characteristic of spots caused by fungi: the medicine eliminates the fungus itself, but the lesion does not disappear until new skin has grown.

Nail lesions will disappear 6 to 9 months after treatment ends, as the medicine only eliminates the fungus itself. The nail must regrow, which takes several months. Therefore, do not be concerned if you do not notice improvement during treatment: the medicine remains in your nails for several months and fulfills its purpose. Thus, you must stop treatment at the time indicated by your doctor, even if you do not see any improvement.

Internal organ infections: Higher doses and prolonged treatment may be required.

Always follow your doctor's instructions; he or she will adapt the treatment to your needs.

Use in children

This medicine must not be used in children. It may be prescribed by a doctor only in exceptional cases.

In case of accidental overdose, your doctor will implement supportive measures. Itraconazole is not removed by hemodialysis. Specific antidotes are not known.

If you forget to take itraconazol cinfa

If you forget to take the medicine, take the next scheduled dose and continue treatment as directed by your doctor. Do not take a double dose to make up for missed doses.

If you interrupt treatment with itraconazol cinfa

Do not interrupt treatment with itraconazole without consulting your doctor, as symptoms of your condition may reappear or worsen.

If you have any further questions about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
