Sporanox contains the active ingredient itraconazole. It is a prescription antifungal medication used to treat certain fungal infections.
Sporanox may be used to treat several serious fungal infections, including:
These infections can affect the lungs and may sometimes spread to other parts of the body.
Sporanox helps control the infection by stopping the fungus from growing.
Sporanox may also be used to treat onychomycosis, which is a fungal infection of the fingernails or toenails.
Onychomycosis can cause:
Treatment may take several weeks or months because healthy nail growth is slow.
Sporanox belongs to a class of medications called triazole antifungals.
It works by blocking the production of ergosterol, an important part of the fungal cell membrane.
Without enough ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak and cannot function properly. This slows or stops fungal growth and helps the body clear the infection.
Sporanox is available in different forms, including capsules and oral solution.
These forms are not always interchangeable because the body absorbs them differently.
Your healthcare provider will choose the formulation and dose based on the type and location of the fungal infection.
The length of treatment depends on:
Some infections may require treatment for several weeks or months.
Take Sporanox for the full length of time prescribed, even if your symptoms begin to improve earlier.
Sporanox capsules are taken by mouth and should be swallowed whole.
Take Sporanox capsules with a full meal to help your body absorb the medication properly.
The dose and length of treatment depend on the type of fungal infection being treated, how severe it is, and how well you respond to treatment.
Sporanox capsules need enough stomach acid to be absorbed properly.
Antacids can reduce the absorption of Sporanox. If you use an antacid, take it at least 2 hours before or after Sporanox.
Medications that reduce stomach acid, such as proton pump inhibitors or H2 blockers, may also affect absorption.
If you have low stomach acid or take an acid-reducing medication, your healthcare provider may recommend taking Sporanox capsules with an acidic beverage.
Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for specific instructions.
Starting dose: 200 mg once daily.
If the infection does not improve or becomes worse, the dose may be increased in 100 mg increments.
Recommended dose: 200 to 400 mg per day, depending on response.
Maximum dose: 400 mg per day.
If the daily dose is greater than 200 mg, it should usually be divided into two doses.
The recommended dose is generally 200 to 400 mg per day.
The exact dose depends on the severity of the infection and how well you respond to treatment.
For certain severe or life-threatening fungal infections, a loading dose may be used.
Loading dose: 200 mg three times daily for the first 3 days.
After the loading period, your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate maintenance dose.
Treatment generally continues for at least 3 months and until clinical and laboratory findings show that the active infection has resolved.
For fungal infection of the toenails, with or without fingernail involvement:
Recommended dose: 200 mg once daily.
Treatment duration: 12 consecutive weeks.
For fungal infection involving the fingernails only, Sporanox may be given using pulse therapy.
Each treatment pulse consists of:
Dose: 200 mg twice daily for 1 week.
This is followed by 3 weeks without Sporanox.
A second 1-week treatment pulse is then given using the same dose.
This means fingernail treatment usually consists of 2 treatment pulses separated by a 3-week break.
Continue taking Sporanox for the full length of time prescribed, even if your symptoms begin to improve earlier.
Stopping treatment too soon may allow the fungal infection to return.
Serious fungal infections may require treatment for several months.
Sporanox Capsules and Oral Solution Are Different
Sporanox capsules and Sporanox oral solution are absorbed differently and should not be used interchangeably unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to switch formulations.
Only the oral solution has been shown to be effective for certain infections of the mouth or esophagus.
If you miss a dose of Sporanox, take it as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra Sporanox to make up for a missed dose.
Take Sporanox exactly as prescribed.
Your healthcare provider may adjust your dose or treatment length based on the infection, your response to treatment, liver or kidney function, and other medications you take.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products before starting Sporanox.
Sporanox (itraconazole) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Sporanox can affect how strongly the heart pumps and may increase the risk of congestive heart failure in some people.
Sporanox capsules should not be used to treat nail fungus in people who have heart failure or a history of heart failure. For other fungal infections, your healthcare provider will weigh the benefits and risks if you have heart problems.
Contact your healthcare provider right away if you develop symptoms such as:
Sporanox can rarely cause serious liver injury, sometimes even during the first week of treatment.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease before starting Sporanox.
Contact your healthcare provider promptly if you develop:
Your healthcare provider may recommend liver function tests during treatment.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease.
Itraconazole is mainly processed by the liver, but kidney impairment can still affect how the medication behaves in the body.
Because information on people with kidney impairment is limited, Sporanox should be used carefully, and your healthcare provider may adjust the dose depending on your response.
Sporanox can interact with many medications because it strongly affects the CYP3A4 enzyme and certain drug transporters.
Some interactions can cause dangerously high medication levels, abnormal heart rhythms, excessive sedation, low blood pressure, or other serious side effects.
Certain medications should not be taken with Sporanox at all.
Tell your healthcare provider about all:
Do not start or stop another medication without checking with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Serious allergic reactions can occur with Sporanox.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop:
Sporanox can rarely cause peripheral neuropathy, which is nerve damage that may cause numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop new or worsening nerve symptoms.
Treatment may need to be stopped if Sporanox is believed to be the cause.
Some people may experience dizziness, blurred vision, or double vision while taking Sporanox.
Until you know how the medication affects you, use caution when driving, operating machinery, or doing other activities that require clear vision and full alertness.
Hearing loss has been reported in some people taking itraconazole.
In many cases, hearing improves after the medication is stopped, but it may persist in some people.
Contact your healthcare provider if you notice decreased hearing, ringing in the ears, or other hearing changes.
Itraconazole can affect the way certain steroid hormones are produced or broken down in the body.
These effects are uncommon at usual doses but may become more important with higher doses or certain interacting medications.
Tell your healthcare provider if you develop unusual weakness, dizziness, swelling, blood pressure changes, or other unexplained symptoms.
Sporanox can cause digestive side effects such as:
Taking Sporanox capsules with a full meal can help improve absorption.
Sporanox capsules should be swallowed whole with a full meal.
If you have difficulty swallowing the capsules, speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Do not open, crush, or change the capsules on your own.
Before taking Sporanox, tell your healthcare provider if you have:
This information helps your healthcare provider determine whether Sporanox is appropriate and whether additional monitoring is needed.
How often you take Sporanox depends on the type of fungal infection being treated. Some people may take 200 mg once daily, while others may need 200 mg twice daily. For certain severe infections, a higher loading dose may be used for the first few days. The maximum daily dose is generally 400 mg per day, unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions. Always follow the dosing schedule prescribed specifically for you.
Itraconazole can remain in the body for several days after the last dose. Blood levels usually decrease gradually, but small amounts of the medication may still be present for about 1 to 2 weeks after treatment ends. Itraconazole also concentrates in tissues such as the skin and nails, where it can remain even longer. This is one reason nail infections may continue improving after the medication has been stopped.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Sporanox is generally avoided during pregnancy unless the fungal infection is serious and the expected benefit outweighs the potential risk. When Sporanox is used to treat nail fungus, it should not be used during pregnancy. Itraconazole can pass into breast milk. Your healthcare provider will consider the benefits of treatment and breastfeeding before deciding whether Sporanox is appropriate.
If you miss a dose of Sporanox, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra Sporanox to make up for a missed dose.
Store Sporanox capsules at room temperature, away from excess heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep the medication in its original container and out of reach of children and pets. Do not store Sporanox in a bathroom or other damp area.
