Itraconazole capsules are indicated for the treatment of:-

  Vulvovaginal candidiasis

Pityriasis Versicolor, dermatomycosis, fungal keratitis, oral candidiasis

Onychomycosis caused by dermatophytes and/or yeasts

  Systemic mycoses, including aspergillosis and non-invasive systemic candidiasis (without underlying Immunosuppression), histoplasmosis, sporotrichosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, and other rarely occurring systemic or tropical mycoses

Itraconazole capsules may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines.

Itraconazole is used in treatment of infections due to most yeasts, as well as moulds. Its major advantages over fluconazole are its activity particularly against most Aspergillus isolates and a subset of fluconazole-resistant Candida strains. Thereby, Itraconazole is a more preferred medication for fungal infections.
