Itromed Sr 400 MG Tablet 10 contains itraconazole (400 mg), which carries out the following actions:

• Blocks Ergosterol Production: Ergosterol is a vital component of fungal cell membranes. Itraconazole (400 mg) works by blocking its production.

• Causes Fungal Cell Death: Itraconazole (400 mg) damages the fungal cell membrane by disrupting the production of ergosterol. This leads to the leakage of cellular contents, ultimately resulting in the death of the fungal cell.

• Inhibits Spread of Infection: By causing the death of fungal cells, itraconazole (400 mg) effectively inhibits the growth and spread of the fungal infection.

• Store Itromed Sr 400 MG Tablet 10 at room temperature, not exceeding 30°C.
