ROLAC

What ROLAC (Itraconazole) is used for

Itraconazole is an antifungal medicine from the triazole group. It stops the growth of the fungi (including yeasts) that cause an infection. It comes as capsules and as a liquid (oral solution), both taken by mouth. The capsules and the liquid are absorbed differently, so one cannot simply be swapped for the other. It is a prescription medicine, and it interacts with a very large number of other medicines.

• Vaginal thrush
• Fungal skin infections, including on the hands, arms, legs and groin, athlete's foot, and pityriasis versicolor
• Fungal nail infections
• Yeast infections of the mouth, throat or food pipe (gullet), especially in people with a weak immune system (the liquid)
• Fungal infections of the lungs and internal organs, including chronic lung infection caused by Aspergillus fungus
• Other serious fungal infections that WHO lists it for, such as histoplasmosis, sporotrichosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, chromoblastomycosis and infections caused by the fungus Talaromyces marneffei
