Nizral

Product Description

Nizral Tablet is a medication containing the active ingredient Ketoconazole. Belonging to a class of drugs known as azole antifungals, it’s intended to prevent and treat a wide array of fungal infections.

Uses

Nizral Tablet is widely used in treating various fungal infections, including candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, chromomycosis, and blastomycosis. It also treats severe or hard-to-treat infections, such as certain forms of meningitis, particularly when other treatments cannot be utilized or have failed.

How to Use

Nizral Tablet should be taken as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The tablets are typically consumed once daily with a full meal for enhanced absorption. They should be swallowed whole without crushing, chewing, or breaking them.

How It Works

Nizral acts by disrupting the fungal cell membrane’s formation, causing changes in membrane permeability, leakage of essential components, and ultimately leading to the death of the fungus.

Benefits

Nizral Tablet is effective against a wide spectrum of fungal infections. It is particularly beneficial in treating infections that are resistant or unresponsive to other antifungal treatments, offering a robust solution even for severe conditions.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of Nizral may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue, and itching. While most of these side effects are typically mild, if they persist or worsen, you should consult your healthcare provider.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and duration of Nizral Tablet depend on the type of infection, its severity, and the patient’s response to the drug. The usual adult dose is 200 mg once daily. In severe infections, the dosage may be increased to 400 mg daily, with treatment duration ranging from a few days to several months.

Warnings

Nizral should be avoided by individuals who are allergic to Ketoconazole or other azole antifungals. It should be used with caution in patients with liver disease, as it may cause elevated liver enzymes. It’s essential to disclose to your healthcare provider all the medications you’re currently taking and any existing medical conditions.

Storage

Nizral Tablet should be stored at room temperature, between 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), away from light and moisture. The medication should remain in its original container and be kept out of reach of children.
