Otegal is indicated for the reduction of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) episodes in adult females who are not of reproductive potential. While fungal culture results can guide therapy, treatment may be initiated prior to receiving laboratory confirmation. Adjust treatment based on culture findings when available.

Oteseconazole is a novel antifungal agent from the azole class. It selectively inhibits the fungal enzyme 14α-demethylase (CYP51)—crucial for ergosterol biosynthesis, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. Disruption of this process compromises fungal cell integrity and viability. The drug's tetrazole moiety gives it high specificity for fungal enzymes while minimizing interaction with human cytochrome P450 enzymes.
Common adverse reactions (≥2% incidence) include:
There are two approved dosing regimens:
Day 1: 600 mg (single dose)
Day 2: 450 mg (single dose)
From Day 14 onwards: 150 mg once weekly for 11 weeks (Week 2 to Week 12)
Day 1, 4, 7: Fluconazole 150 mg orally
Day 14 to 20: Oteseconazole 150 mg daily
From Day 28 onwards: Oteseconazole 150 mg once weekly for 11 weeks (Week 4 to Week 14)
👉 Take with food. Swallow capsules whole—do not crush or chew.
BCRP substrates (e.g., rosuvastatin): Caution advised. Co-administration may increase plasma levels of these drugs. Use the lowest effective dose of the interacting drug and monitor for side effects.
Minimal interaction risk with CYP enzymes, based on in vitro data.
Contraindicated during pregnancy and in females who can become pregnant. Based on animal studies, oteseconazole can cause fetal harm, including ocular malformations. Its prolonged half-life (approx. 138 days) results in a drug exposure window of nearly 690 days, increasing the risk of embryo-fetal toxicity. Use is also not recommended during lactation due to the unknown safety in breastfed infants.
Embryo-fetal toxicity is a major concern; Otegal should not be used in any female of childbearing potential.
Animal studies have shown risks of ocular defects in offspring when used during pregnancy.
