Summary
Itraconazole is a broad spectrum antifungal medication used to treat various fungal and yeast infections throughout the body. It belongs to the triazole class of antifungals and works by preventing fungi from producing ergosterol, a vital component of their cell membranes. This causes the fungal cells to weaken and die, treating the infection.
