Concomitant use of certain medicines with Triasporin may be harmful or may alter the activity of Triasporin. Triasporin is absorbed in the body under conditions of sufficient stomach acidity. Therefore, antacids (medicines that neutralize stomach acid) should be taken at least 1 hour before or at least 2 hours after Triasporin.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
Triasporin is contraindicated during pregnancy unless your doctor determines that treatment for potentially life-threatening infections is necessary, where the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus (see “Do not use Triasporin”).
Breastfeeding
A small amount of Triasporin passes into breast milk; therefore, treatment with Triasporin is not recommended.
Your doctor will prescribe Triasporin only if clearly needed.
Fertility
If you are a woman of childbearing potential, discuss with your doctor, as you must use effective contraception during treatment with Triasporin and until your next menstrual period after the end of therapy.
Driving and use of machines
Triasporin may cause dizziness, visual disturbances, and hearing loss (see “Possible side effects”).
Triasporin may impair your ability to drive or operate machinery.
Do not drive or operate machinery.
Triasporin contains sucrose
If your doctor has diagnosed you with an intolerance to certain sugars, contact them before taking this medicine.
3. How to use Triasporin
Take this medicine exactly as instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. If you have
any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The dose to be taken varies depending on the infection being treated.
Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully, as they may adjust the treatment according to your

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking TRIASPORIN.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience:
- anorexia (reduced or absent appetite)
- nausea
- vomiting

TRIASPORIN with a cola-containing beverage.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience:

Contact your doctor if you experience:
- tingling
- numbness
- weakness in limbs
- pain in arms or legs
- blurred vision or double vision

Taking certain medicines together with TRIASPORIN may be harmful or may alter the activity of TRIASPORIN. Absorption of TRIASPORIN into the body occurs in the presence of sufficient stomach acidity. For this reason, antacids (medicines that neutralize stomach acid) should be taken at least 1 hour before or at least 2 hours after TRIASPORIN.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your
doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
TRIASPORIN is contraindicated during pregnancy unless your doctor considers treatment of potentially life-threatening infections necessary, where the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus (see “Do not use TRIASPORIN”).
Breastfeeding
A small amount of TRIASPORIN passes into breast milk; therefore, treatment with
TRIASPORIN is not recommended.
Your doctor will prescribe TRIASPORIN only if strictly necessary.
Fertility
If you are a woman of childbearing age, discuss with your doctor, as you must use effective contraceptive measures during treatment with TRIASPORIN and until the next menstruation following the end of therapy with
TRIASPORIN.
Driving and using machines
TRIASPORIN may cause dizziness, visual disturbances and hearing loss (see “Possible side effects”).
TRIASPORIN may impair your ability to drive or use machinery.
Do not drive or operate machinery.
TRIASPORIN contains sorbitol
This medicine contains 7,920 mg of sorbitol in a 40 mL dose, equivalent to 198 mg per mL.
Sorbitol is a source of fructose. If your doctor has informed you (or the child) that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, or if you have been diagnosed with hereditary fructose intolerance, a rare genetic condition in which patients cannot metabolize fructose, speak with your doctor before (you or the child) take this medicine. It may cause gastrointestinal problems and has a mild laxative effect.
TRIASPORIN contains propylene glycol
This medicine contains 4.2 g of propylene glycol per 40 mL dose, equivalent to 104 mg/mL.
If the child is under 5 years of age, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before administering this
medicine, especially if the child is taking other medicines containing propylene glycol or alcohol.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not take this medicine unless otherwise recommended by your doctor. Your doctor may perform additional monitoring during therapy.
If you suffer from liver or kidney disease, do not take this medicine unless otherwise recommended by your doctor. Your doctor may perform additional monitoring during therapy.
TRIASPORIN contains cyclodextrin
This medicine contains 16,000 mg of cyclodextrins per 40 mL, equivalent to 400 mg/mL.
Do not use in children under 2 years of age unless otherwise recommended by your doctor.
Cyclodextrin may cause gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea.
TRIASPORIN contains alcohol (ethanol)
This medicine contains 0.2 mg of alcohol (ethanol) per 40 mL dose, equivalent to 0.005 mg/mL. The amount in 40 mL of this medicine is equivalent to less than 1 mL of beer or wine. The small amount of alcohol in this medicine will not produce significant effects.
TRIASPORIN contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per 40 mL dose, i.e., essentially “sodium-free”.
3. HOW TO TAKE TRIASPORIN
Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. If you have
any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Treatment of oral and/or oesophageal candidiasis
The recommended dose is 200 mg (corresponding to 20 ml, equal to -2 measuring spoons) daily, preferably
divided into two administrations or taken as a single dose for one week.
If after one week of treatment with TRIASPORIN the infection has not resolved, treatment should be
continued for another week.
Treatment of fluconazole-resistant oral and/or oesophageal candidiasis (fluconazole is another antifungal)
The recommended dose is 100 mg - 200 mg (corresponding to 10 - 20 ml, equal to 1-2 measuring spoons,
respectively) twice daily for two weeks. Treatment should be continued for an additional two
weeks if the infection does not resolve during the initial two weeks of treatment. For patients receiving
a dose of 400 mg (corresponding to 40 ml, equal to 4 measuring spoons) daily, treatment should be limited
to 14 days if there is no evidence of improvement during this period. Do not exceed the recommended
maximum daily dose.
Prevention of fungal infections
The dose is calculated based on your body weight.
The recommended dose is 5 mg per kg of body weight, divided into two daily administrations.
The dose required varies according to your health condition.
Taking the medicine on an empty stomach ensures optimal absorption.
Avoid eating for at least 1 hour after administration.
It is recommended to hold TRIASPORIN in the mouth for approximately 20 seconds before swallowing. Do not rinse
the mouth after taking the oral solution.
Use the graduated measuring spoon.
Instructions for opening the bottle and using the dosing cup
The bottle is equipped with a child-resistant cap, which must be opened as follows: press the cap
downwards and, at the same time, turn it counterclockwise.
The package includes a graduated 10 ml dosing cup made of polypropylene.
Before using the dosing cup, ensure that the arrow points upward: the part to be filled is the graduated section.
If you take more TRIASPORIN than you should
If more TRIASPORIN is taken than prescribed, contact your doctor or the nearest hospital
immediately.
TRIASPORIN is not removed by haemodialysis (an extracorporeal blood purification technique that
removes medicines) and no antidote (a substance that neutralizes an overdose of medicine) is available; therefore, treatment will be symptomatic (symptoms and adverse effects will be managed as they occur).
If you forget to take TRIASPORIN
If you forget to take your dose, take the next dose at the usual time and continue taking the
medicine as directed by your doctor. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed dose.
If you have any questions about the use of TRIASPORIN, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
