Canditral SB 130 Capsule contains itraconazole (130 mg), which works in the following ways:

• Inhibits ergosterol synthesis: Itraconazole acts by blocking the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes.
• Increases cell membrane permeability: The inhibition of ergosterol synthesis disrupts the structure and function of the cell membrane, leading to increased permeability.
• Triggers leakage and cell death: The increased permeability causes leakage of cellular contents, ultimately causing cell death.
• Broad-spectrum antifungal action: Itraconazole exhibits a broad spectrum of action against various fungi, including Blastomyces dermatitidis, Histoplasma capsulatum, Aspergillus flavus, and A. fumigatus.

• Keep your Canditral SB 130 Capsule in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays between 15°C and 30°C.
• Avoid direct light and moisture.
• Keep the medicine out of reach of children.

• Since Canditral SB 130 Capsule manages fungal infections, maintaining good personal hygiene is essential. Regularly wash your hands and body, and keep your surroundings clean.
• Eating a balanced diet helps boost your immune system. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains in your daily diet.
