Medicinal Benefits of Truit 100mg Tablet

ITRACONAZOLE is an antifungal used to treat various fungal infections of skin, mouth, nails, hands, feet, digestive tract, throat, vagina and other parts of the body. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. ITRACONAZOLE inhibits the production of ergosterol (a main component of cell membranes of fungi). Thereby, weakens and damages the fungal cell membranes causing the main components of fungal cells to leak out. Thus, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.
