Itrapet is a powerful broad-spectrum antifungal formulation containing Itraconazole, available in tablet and suspension forms. It is highly effective against dermatophytosis (ringworm), Malasseziosis (yeast dermatitis), histoplasmosis, candidiasis, and sporotrichosis, offering superior efficacy with a much lower dosage compared to ketoconazole and terbinafine. Itrapetยฎ works by inhibiting fungal cell membrane synthesis, ensuring targeted action against fungal infections in pets. With a recommended dosage of 5-10 mg/kg body weight, it is a trusted choice for treating severe and persistent fungal infections in veterinary care.

How does the medicine work? : Itraconazole blocks ergosterol production, a key component of the fungal cell wall, weakening and killing the fungus over the course of treatment.
