Vfend contains the active ingredient voriconazole. It is a prescription antifungal medication used to treat certain serious fungal infections.

Invasive Aspergillosis

Vfend is used to treat invasive aspergillosis, a serious infection caused by Aspergillus fungi.

The infection often begins in the lungs but can spread to other parts of the body, especially in people with weakened immune systems.

Candidemia and Other Serious Candida Infections

Vfend may be used to treat candidemia, which is a Candida fungal infection in the bloodstream.

It can also treat certain serious Candida infections that affect deeper tissues or organs, such as the skin, abdomen, kidneys, bladder wall, or wounds.

Esophageal Candidiasis

Vfend is also used to treat esophageal candidiasis.

This is a fungal infection of the esophagus, the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach.

Symptoms may include painful swallowing, difficulty swallowing, or discomfort behind the breastbone.

Scedosporium and Fusarium Infections

Vfend may also be used to treat serious fungal infections caused by Scedosporium apiospermum or Fusarium species.

For these infections, Vfend is generally used when other antifungal treatments have not worked or cannot be tolerated.

How Vfend Works

Vfend belongs to a group of medications called triazole antifungals.

It blocks the production of ergosterol, an important part of the fungal cell membrane.

Without enough ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes damaged. This stops the fungus from growing and helps the body control the infection.

Important Note

Vfend is used for serious fungal infections and should be taken exactly as prescribed.

The type of infection, your response to treatment, and your overall health will determine how long you need to take it.

Vfend tablets are taken by mouth, usually every 12 hours, as directed by your healthcare provider.

Try to take each dose at about the same times every day. Taking Vfend on a regular schedule helps keep a steady amount of medication in your body.

Take Vfend on an Empty Stomach

Take Vfend tablets at least 1 hour before or 1 hour after a meal.

Food can affect how much voriconazole your body absorbs.

Recommended Dose

The dose of Vfend depends on:

  • The type and severity of the fungal infection
  • Your age
  • Your body weight
  • Your liver function
  • Your response to treatment
  • Other medications you take

For many adults weighing 40 kg or more, the usual oral maintenance dose is 200 mg every 12 hours.

Some adults may need a higher oral dose, such as 300 mg every 12 hours, depending on the infection and response to treatment.

For adults weighing less than 40 kg, a lower dose may be used.

Some Infections Require a Loading Dose

For certain serious infections, such as invasive aspergillosis, treatment may begin with an intravenous loading dose before switching to Vfend tablets.

Your healthcare provider will choose the appropriate starting and maintenance dose based on the infection being treated.

Dosing in Children

Vfend can be used in certain children 2 years of age and older.

Pediatric doses are based on factors such as age, body weight, and the type of infection.

Your healthcare provider will calculate the appropriate dose for your child.

Take Vfend for the Full Treatment Period

Continue taking Vfend for as long as your healthcare provider recommends, even if you start feeling better.

Stopping treatment too early may allow the fungal infection to return or become more difficult to treat.

Do Not Change Your Dose on Your Own

Do not increase, decrease, or stop Vfend without speaking with your healthcare provider.

Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve, become worse, or you develop troublesome side effects.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you miss a dose of Vfend, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.

If your next dose is approaching, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

Seek medical attention if you develop:

  • A severe or spreading rash
  • Blisters
  • Peeling skin
  • Sores in your mouth
  • Fever with a rash

These reactions can be serious and may require Vfend to be stopped.

Drug Interactions

Vfend can interact with many medications.

Some interactions can raise voriconazole levels and increase side effects, while others can make Vfend less effective.

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use.

Do not start or stop another medication without checking with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Kidney Problems

Your healthcare provider may monitor your kidney function during treatment.

Kidney problems are especially important with the intravenous form of Vfend, but kidney function may still be monitored with oral treatment, particularly if you already have kidney disease or take other medicines that can affect the kidneys.

Pregnancy

Vfend can harm a developing fetus.

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Females who can become pregnant should use effective contraception while taking Vfend.

Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed.

Your healthcare provider will consider the need for Vfend and the potential risks before advising whether breastfeeding is appropriate during treatment.

Serious allergic reactions can occur.

Seek emergency medical attention if you develop:

  • Hives
  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing
  • A severe rash

Long-Term Treatment

Long-term Vfend treatment has been linked to rare bone-related problems such as periostitis and fluorosis.

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop persistent bone pain, especially during long-term therapy.

Monitoring During Treatment

Your healthcare provider may monitor:

  • Liver function
  • Kidney function
  • Potassium, magnesium, and calcium levels
  • Vision if treatment lasts more than 28 days
  • Your response to antifungal treatment

Regular monitoring helps make sure Vfend is working safely and effectively.

Can Vfend be taken with food?

Vfend should be taken on an empty stomach. Take Vfend tablets or oral suspension at least 1 hour before or 1 hour after a meal. Taking it too close to food can affect how much voriconazole your body absorbs.

How should Vfend be stored?

Store Vfend tablets at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Keep the medication in a tightly closed container and protect it from excess moisture. Keep Vfend out of the reach of children. If you are using Vfend oral suspension, keep it at room temperature and do not refrigerate or freeze it. The oral suspension should be discarded 14 days after it is prepared by the pharmacist.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Vfend?

If you miss a dose of Vfend, 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 to make up for a missed dose.

Can Vfend be used in children?

Yes. Vfend can be used in certain children 2 years of age and older. The dose depends on the child’s age, body weight, type of fungal infection, and response to treatment. Children may require different doses than adults, so the dose should be carefully calculated by a healthcare provider.

How long does treatment with Vfend last?

The length of Vfend treatment depends on the type and severity of the fungal infection, your immune system, and how well you respond to treatment. Some infections may require treatment for several weeks or longer. For example, invasive aspergillosis often requires prolonged treatment, while esophageal candidiasis generally requires at least 14 days of therapy and at least 7 days after symptoms have improved. Your healthcare provider will decide when it is safe to stop treatment. Do not stop Vfend early, even if you start feeling better.
