Syntran 200 Capsule is taken orally.

Syntran 200 Capsule contains Itraconazole (200mg) which acts on the body as follows:

• Inhibits Cytochrome P450 Enzyme: Itraconazole works by blocking a specific enzyme known as lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase in fungi. This enzyme plays a pivotal role in converting lanosterol to ergosterol which is vital for maintaining the structure of the fungal cell membrane.
• Increases Fungal Membrane Permeability: By preventing the synthesis of ergosterol, Itraconazole increases the permeability of the fungal membrane. This causes leakage of cellular contents leading to fungi cell death.
• Clears Fungal Infections: The increased permeability and subsequent leakage culminate in arresting the growth of fungi thus helping clear up the infection caused by fungi.

• Store Syntran 200 Capsule at a comfortable room temperature below 30°C.
• Protect from bright light and moisture to preserve its effectiveness.
• Ensure the medicine is kept out of children's reach to prevent accidental ingestion.
• Always use your Syntran 200 Capsule before the expiry date for optimal efficacy.

• When managing fungal infections with Syntran 200 Capsule, ensure you maintain good personal hygiene. Regular bathing and clean clothes can help reduce fungal growth and spread.
• Avoid consuming grapefruit or its juice while taking this medicine as it can increase itraconazole levels in your body, which may lead to unwanted side effects.
