itrasys cf 200 capsule

Product Introduction

ITRASYS CF 200 Capsule is a medication that combines two active ingredients: Itraconazole and Clobetasol. It is primarily used in the treatment of fungal infections of the skin. Itraconazole belongs to the class of triazole antifungal agents, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Clobetasol, on the other hand, is a potent corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with certain skin conditions.

ITRASYS CF 200 Capsule is prescribed for the following conditions:

• Fungal Infections: It is effective against a variety of fungal infections of the skin, including ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and fungal infections of the nails (onychomycosis).
• Inflammatory Skin Conditions: Due to the presence of Clobetasol, it is also used to relieve symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, where itching, redness, and swelling are prominent.
