Description: Izole 100 contains Itraconazole, a potent triazole antifungal agent designed to treat a wide variety of fungal infections. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting the membrane's integrity, Itraconazole effectively stops the growth of the fungus and allows the body's immune system to clear the infection. It is particularly effective against infections that affect the skin, nails, and internal organs.
In Nigeria, Izole 100 is a primary clinical choice for stubborn fungal infections that do not respond to topical creams. It is available through authorized health providers like Sanlive Pharmacy, ensuring you receive a genuine, high-quality medication stored in a cool, dry environment to maintain its molecular stability and clinical power.
Important: Izole 100 is a prescription-only medication. It must be taken for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if symptoms disappear early. Do not take this medication if you have heart failure (congestive heart failure) or if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Itraconazole has many drug interactions; always inform your pharmacist of all other medications you are taking.
Izole 100mg Capsules are primarily used to treat:
Onychomycosis: Fungal infections of the fingernails or toenails
Tinea Infections: Persistent ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete's foot (tinea pedis), and jock itch (tinea cruris)
Pityriasis Versicolor: A common fungal infection that causes small, discolored patches of skin
Oral and Vaginal Candidiasis: Yeast infections of the mouth (thrush) or vagina
Systemic Mycoses: Serious internal fungal infections such as aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and histoplasmosis
This product is suitable for:
Adults with chronic or deep-seated fungal infections of the skin and nails
Patients who have not seen improvement with over-the-counter antifungal creams
Individuals requiring systemic treatment for internal fungal conditions
Not recommended for: Patients with a history of heart failure or ventricular dysfunction. It is contraindicated during pregnancy (except in life-threatening cases) and in patients with known hypersensitivity to azole antifungals. Use with extreme caution in patients with significant liver or kidney impairment.
Take the capsule exactly as prescribed, usually once or twice daily
Must be taken immediately after a full meal to ensure maximum absorption into the bloodstream
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water; do not open or chew the capsule
If you take antacids, take them at least 2 hours after taking Izole, as stomach acid is required for the drug to dissolve properly
For nail infections, treatment may last for several months (pulse therapy) as the healthy nail needs time to grow out
Most patients tolerate Itraconazole well, but some may experience:
Common: Nausea, abdominal pain, headache, and dizziness
Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea or constipation
Skin: Mild rash or itching
Rare: Temporary changes in liver enzymes
Serious: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of liver issues (yellowing of eyes/skin, dark urine), swelling (edema), or shortness of breath

Why do I have to take it with a meal?
Itraconazole requires an acidic environment and dietary fats to be absorbed properly. Taking it on an empty stomach significantly reduces the amount of medicine that enters your system, making the treatment less effective.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Izole?
While there is no direct interaction, both alcohol and Itraconazole are processed by the liver. It is best to limit alcohol consumption to avoid putting unnecessary strain on your liver during treatment.
How long will it take for my nail to look normal?
Even after the fungus is killed (which may take 3 months of medicine), your nail will not look "clear" until the damaged part grows out. For toenails, this can take 6 to 12 months.
Where can I buy authentic Izole 100mg in Nigeria?
