✅ Description:

Voriconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat a wide range of fungal and yeast infections throughout the body. Fungal infections can affect various parts of the body, including the mouth, throat, esophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and bloodstream.

  • The active ingredient in Voricon 200mg Tablet, Voriconazole, works by inhibiting an enzyme in fungi that plays a crucial role in their normal fat metabolism. By interfering with the formation of the fungal cell membrane, Voriconazole can either kill fungal and yeast cells or inhibit their growth.
  • Voriconazole should not be taken if you have had an allergic reaction to it or any of its ingredients.
  • This medication has been associated with liver toxicity, including cases resulting in fatalities, particularly in patients with other serious underlying medical conditions.
  • Voriconazole falls into pregnancy category D, which means it should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women. Discuss alternative treatments with your healthcare provider if you are in either of these situations.
  • While taking Voriconazole, you should avoid excessive exposure to sunlight, as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun's UV rays. Consider using a high-SPF sunscreen or protective clothing when going outside.
  • If you need to take an antacid, do so at least 2 hours after taking Voriconazole to ensure proper absorption of the medication.
  • Always follow your doctor's instructions and consult with them if you have any concerns or experience side effects while using Voriconazole.

✔️ Indication

Voriconazole is indeed a potent antifungal medication, and it is used to treat various fungal infections in individuals aged 12 and older. Here is a summary of the fungal infections that Voriconazole is commonly prescribed for:

  • Invasive Aspergillosis: This is a severe fungal infection caused by the Aspergillus species, which can affect various organs, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems.
