What Experts Say

Itraconazole stops fungal cells from building a healthy cell membrane, which halts their growth and clears the infection. It is effective against a wide range of fungi affecting the skin, nails and body.

Because it concentrates in skin and nails and lingers there, doctors can use short pulse courses for nail infections rather than continuous daily dosing. Taking the capsule with a full meal improves absorption.

Itraconazole interacts with many medicines and can affect the liver and heart, so the doctor should know all current treatments and any heart failure history. Liver function may be monitored during longer courses.
