How to Use

Take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Isavuconazole 100 Capsule can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at a consistent time each day.

How it Works

Isavuconazole is an antifungal medicine that inhibits an enzyme responsible for ergosterol synthesis, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. By blocking ergosterol production, the medication prevents the fungus from growing and multiplying, ultimately killing the infection-causing fungus and clearing the infection.
