Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing Canditral SB Capsule. However, if you experience any severe side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Canditral SB capsule contains the following component:

Itraconazole (50 mg): It is an azole that interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption weakens the fungal cell membrane, making it more susceptible to damage. By inhibiting ergosterol production, itraconazole inhibits fungal growth. Without a stable cell membrane, fungi struggle to maintain their structural integrity and reproduce. Itraconazole further disrupts fungal cell function by affecting various enzymes and processes. This damages the fungal cell's ability to carry out essential functions, ultimately leading to its death.

Pregnancy

This medicine should only be used during pregnancy if prescribed by a doctor. It is essential to consult your doctor before taking this medication while pregnant.

Breastfeeding

This capsule is generally not recommended for breastfeeding women because a small amount of this medicine can pass into breast milk. It's advisable to consult your doctor before taking it while breastfeeding.

It is advisable to avoid alcohol if you are taking this capsule to avoid unwanted side effects.

Inform your doctor before taking this medicine if you have a history of liver problems; its use is not recommended.
