Itrafungol, which contains the active ingredient itraconazole, is a systemic antifungal medication primarily used to treat fungal infections like ringworm and blastomycosis.
Here's a breakdown:
- Primary Use: Itrafungol is designed to combat fungal infections.
- Specific Examples: These infections include:
- Ringworm
- Blastomycosis
- Active Ingredient: The medication's effectiveness stems from itraconazole.
- Off-Label Use: While primarily used as described above, itraconazole (the active ingredient in Itrafungol) can also be used "off label" or "extra label" in dogs, small mammals, and some exotic animals to treat various fungal infections. This means the use is not specifically listed on the product label, but a veterinarian may prescribe it if they believe it's the best course of action.
