Jimlig Capsule | Itraconazole 100 mg Antifungal Capsules

Product Introduction Jimlig 100 Capsule contains Itraconazole 100 mg, a triazole-class antifungal medicine used for treating various fungal infections. It works by interfering with the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby inhibiting fungal growth. Itraconazole is prescribed for different fungal infections affecting the skin, nails, and other parts of the body, depending on the type and severity of infection. Its use, dosage, and treatment duration should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional. Jimlig 100 is manufactured and marketed by Encore Healthcare Private Limited and is supplied in a blister pack containing 30 capsules (3 × 10). Uses Jimlig 100 (Itraconazole 100 mg) may be prescribed for: Dermatophytosis (fungal skin infections). Tinea corporis (ringworm of the body). Tinea cruris (fungal infection of the groin). Tinea pedis (athlete's foot). Tinea versicolor (pityriasis versicolor). Certain fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). Certain systemic fungal infections, when clinically indicated. Important: Not every fungal infection requires oral itraconazole. The appropriate treatment depends on the organism, infection site, severity, and patient's medical history.

Product Form Dosage Form: Hard Gelatin Capsule Strength: 100 mg Route of Administration: Oral Packaging: Blister Pack Pack Size: 30 Capsules (3 × 10) How to Use Take Jimlig 100 only as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the capsule whole with water. Take it with or immediately after a principal meal, as directed on the packaging. Follow the prescribed dose and treatment duration. Do not stop treatment early without consulting your doctor. If you miss a dose, follow your doctor's instructions. Do not double the next dose. Important: Itraconazole capsules have specific absorption requirements. Do not change the formulation or substitute capsules with oral solution without medical advice. How it Works Itraconazole belongs to the triazole group of antifungal medicines. It inhibits an important fungal enzyme called lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, which is involved in ergosterol production. Ergosterol is essential for maintaining the structure and function of fungal cell membranes. By reducing ergosterol synthesis, itraconazole disrupts fungal cell membrane formation and function. This action inhibits the growth of susceptible fungi and, depending on the organism and infection, may contribute to their elimination. 3.

It should not be used for nail fungal infections in pregnant women or women planning pregnancy.
