About Candistat Capsule 4's

Candistat Capsule 4's belongs to a class of drugs called antifungals used to treat fungal infections of the mouth, throat, toenails, fingernails or lungs. Fungal infection is a disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).

Candistat Capsule 4's contains Itraconazole, an antifungal that works by inhibiting the production of ergosterol (a main component of cell membranes of fungi). Thereby, weakens and damages the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, causes the main components of fungal cells to leak out and kill fungi and clear the fungal infection.

Take Candistat Capsule 4's as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Candistat Capsule 4's based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, headache, diarrhoea, tiredness, cough, cold, throat pain, back pain and stomach pain.

Do not take Candistat Capsule 4's if you have or had heart failure as it may cause severe life-threatening adverse effects. If you have kidney, liver, heart or lung problems, inform your doctor before taking Candistat Capsule 4's. Avoid taking fentanyl (a strong opioid narcotic medicine) with Candistat Capsule 4's as it may cause severe breathing problems and can even lead to death.
