AI Summary Generated by AI for informational purposes only

This is an antifungal medicine used to treat various types of serious fungal infections in the body. It works by stopping the growth of the fungus causing the infection. It is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy, and caution should be exercised while breastfeeding.

Indications

Ravuconazole capsule is indicated for the treatment of Onychomycosis.

Pharmacology

Fosravuconazole L-lysine ethanolate is a prodrug of Ravuconazole, a novel triazole antifungal agent, exerting broad and potent antifungal activity. It shows antimycotic effects by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, which is a cellular membrane component of fungi. Ravuconazole is structurally more similar to fluconazole and voriconazole, containing a thiazole instead of a second triazole. It is usually used to treat Onychomycosis. Ravuconazole is highly active against all Aspergillus species (including A. fumigatus & A. flavus isolates), Candida spp., Cryptococcus neoformans & other yeasts, including fluconazole-resistant isolates.

Dosage & Administration

Important:
Do not take any medication without a doctor's prescription. Self-medication can be dangerous.

The usual adult dosage is 1 capsule (100 mg as Ravuconazole) administered orally once daily for a period of 12 weeks.

Interaction

The therapeutic efficacy of Ravuconazole can be increased when used in combination with Amiodarone, Amlodipine, Bepridil, Cinnarizine, Clevidipine & Carvedilol. The therapeutic efficacy of Acenocoumarol can be increased when used in combination with Ravuconazole. Cimetidine, Calcium carbonate, Almasilate, Aluminium phosphate, Aluminum hydroxide & Asenapine can cause a decrease in the absorption of Ravuconazole resulting in a reduced serum concentration and potentially a decrease in efficacy.
