1. What is Terizole used for?
Terizole (Itraconazole) is an antifungal medication used to treat a wide range of fungal infections, including onychomycosis (nail fungus), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), pityriasis versicolor, and various types of candidiasis. It is also used for fungal infections like histoplasmosis, aspergillosis, and blastomycosis.
2. How does Terizole work?
Terizole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting this process, Terizole weakens the fungal cell membrane, ultimately killing the fungus. This fungicidal action makes it highly effective in treating various types of fungal infections.
3. What is the recommended dosage for Terizole?
The dosage of Terizole varies based on the infection being treated. For onychomycosis, treatment may last for up to 6 months, whereas for skin infections like tinea pedis, a shorter duration of 7 days may be sufficient. The specific dosage and treatment duration depend on the type and severity of the infection, and should be followed as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
4. Are there any side effects of Terizole?
Common side effects of Terizole include gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, abdominal pain), elevated liver enzymes, rash, headache, malaise, and orthostatic hypotension. While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience more severe side effects, including liver dysfunction, and should consult a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen.
5. Can Terizole be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Terizole is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to potential risks to the fetus or infant. It should only be used during pregnancy if the benefits outweigh the risks, and it is recommended to avoid use while nursing. Always consult a doctor before taking this medication during pregnancy or lactation.
