• Take the capsules at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level in your body.

Syntran SB 65 Capsule is taken orally.

Syntran SB 65 Capsule contains itraconazole (65 mg). Here's how it works:

• Lanosterol 14α-demethylase inhibition: Itraconazole targets an enzyme called lanosterol 14α-demethylase, essential for creating ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane.

• Ergosterol Depletion: By inhibiting lanosterol 14α-demethylase, the medicine disrupts ergosterol production, leading to a deficiency in the fungal cell membrane. This compromises the structure and function of the cell membrane.

• Accumulation of 14α-methylsterols: Along with disrupting ergosterol production, this medicine causes a buildup of 14α-methylsterols in the fungal cells, further damaging the cell membrane. This activity is generally fungistatic (inhibiting fungal growth), but can become fungicidal (killing fungi) at higher concentrations.

• Keep Syntran SB 65 Capsule at a cool temperature between 15°C to 30°C.

• Avoid storing the medicine in direct light or damp areas.

• Always store Syntran SB 65 Capsule out of reach of children.

• Make sure you take the medicine before its expiry date.

• If you're taking Syntran SB 65 Capsule for a fungal infection, maintaining good personal hygiene can help manage your condition. Regularly clean and dry the affected area to prevent further growth of the fungus.

• Include garlic and other anti-fungal foods in your diet. Garlic contains compounds like allicin which are known to have antifungal properties. However, remember that diet alone cannot cure fungal infections, and it's important to take the medication as advised by your doctor.
