1. What Itraconazole Teva is and what it is used for

Itraconazole Teva contains itraconazole, a substance with antifungal properties, which works by inhibiting the
growth of fungi and yeasts (organisms capable of causing disease).
Itraconazole Teva is therefore used in the treatment of superficial infections at the level of:

• vulvovaginal (candidiasis);
• oral cavity (candidiasis);
• skin (pityriasis versicolor, dermatophytosis);
• cornea (fungal keratitis);
• nails (onychomycosis due to dermatophytes and yeasts). In addition, Itraconazole Teva is used in the treatment of some general infections of the body (systemic)
• aspergillosis (infection caused by Aspergillus);
• candidiasis (infection caused by Candida);
• cryptococcosis (infection caused by Cryptococcus) including cryptococcal meningitis (inflammation of the meninges): in immunocompromised patients with cryptococcosis and in all patients with central nervous system cryptococcosis, Itraconazole Teva is indicated only when first-line treatment is considered inappropriate or has proven ineffective;
• histoplasmosis (infection caused by Histoplasma);
• paracoccidioidomycosis (infection caused by Paracoccidioides Brasiliensis);
• blastomycosis (infection caused by Blastomyces Dermatitidis);
• sporotrichosis including lymphocutaneous and cutaneous sporotrichosis (infection caused by Sporothrix);
• other rare systemic mycoses). Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse.

Warnings and precautions

Decreased gastric acidity reduces the absorption of Itraconazolo Teva and consequently its
therapeutic action.
Therefore, if you are being treated with antacidsthat neutralize stomach acidity (for example aluminium hydroxide) you must take them at least two hours after taking this medicine.
For the same reason, if you are a patient with a digestive system disorder, characterized by
the absence of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice (achlorhydria), if you are being treated with antisecretory drugs or have
other conditions that reduce stomach acidity (such as in some cases of AIDS) it is recommended to take
Itraconazolo Teva with an acidic, non-diet beverage containing cola (see section 3 “How to take
Itraconazolo Teva”).

you should experience (see also section 4 “Possible side effects”):

• difficulty breathing (shortness of breath), unexpected weight gain, swelling of the legs or abdomen, unusual fatigue or if you start to wake up at night because these may be symptoms of impaired heart function (congestive heart failure);
• loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, abdominal pain and dark urine, because these may be symptoms of impaired liver function (hepatitis);
• tingling, numbness or weakness in the hands or feet, other nerve problems in the arms or legs, blurred or double vision, ringing in the ears, loss of bladder control because these may be symptoms of impaired nervous system function (neuropathy);
• hearing loss. Laboratory tests

response to the medicine, your doctor may prescribe some checks and blood tests to check the function

The absorption of itraconazole into the body occurs in the presence of sufficient acidity at the
gastric level. For this reason, medicines that neutralize gastric acidity (antacids) must
be taken at least 1 hour before taking itraconazole or must not be taken for at least 2
hours after taking itraconazole.
For the same reason, if you are using medicines that inhibit the production of acid in the stomach,
it is advisable to take Itraconazole Teva with a cola-containing beverage.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding,
ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
Itraconazole Teva should not be used during pregnancy unless your doctor considers it
strictly necessary to treat potentially life-threatening infections.
Breastfeeding
Since a small amount of itraconazole passes into breast milk, avoid breastfeeding during
treatment with Itraconazole Teva, unless your doctor assesses the potential risk in relation to
the expected benefit.
Fertility
If you are a woman of childbearing potential and could become pregnant, talk to your doctor. During treatment
with this medicine, you should take adequate contraceptive measures to be sure you do not become pregnant
and continue to use highly effective contraceptive measures until the next menstrual cycle after the end of treatment with Itraconazole Teva.

Driving and operating machinery
When driving vehicles and operating machinery, the possibility that
itraconazole may cause dizziness, visual disturbances and hearing loss (see section “Possible
side effects”) must be taken into consideration. In this case, refrain from driving and operating machinery.
