What is Itraconazolo Ratiopharm?
Itraconazolo Ratiopharm is used to treat serious fungal or yeast infections. Itraconazolo Ratiopharm oral solution is only used to treat oropharyngeal or esophageal candidiasis (thrush, oral thrush). Itraconazolo Ratiopharm capsule is used to treat fungal infections, such as aspergillosis (fungal infection in the lungs), blastomycosis (Gilchrist’s disease), histoplasmosis (Darling’s disease), or onychomycosis (fungal infection in the fingernails or toenails). Itraconazolo Ratiopharm tablet is only used to treat onychomycosis of the toenails. Itraconazolo Ratiopharm works by killing the fungus or yeast and preventing its growth.
Itraconazolo Ratiopharm is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Itraconazolo Ratiopharm indications
Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm) Injection/Oral Solution is indicated for empiric therapy of febrile neutropenic patients with suspected fungal infections. (NOTE: In a comparative trial, the overall response rate for Itraconazolo Ratiopharm-treated subjects was higher than for amphotericin B-treated subjects. However, compared to amphotericin B-treated subjects, a larger number of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm-treated subjects discontinued treatment due to persistent fever and a change in antifungal medication due to fever. Whereas, a larger number of amphotericin B-treated subjects discontinued due to drug intolerance.
Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm) Injection is also indicated for the treatment of the following fungal infections in immunocompromised and non-immunocompromised patients:
- Blastomycosis, pulmonary and extrapulmonary;
- Histoplasmosis, including chronic cavitary pulmonary disease and disseminated, non-meningeal histoplasmosis; and
- Aspergillosis, pulmonary and extrapulmonary, in patients who are intolerant of or who are refractory to amphotericin B therapy.
Specimens for fungal cultures and other relevant laboratory studies (wet mount, histopathology, serology) should be obtained prior to therapy to isolate and identify causative organisms. Therapy may be instituted before the results of the cultures and other laboratory studies are known; however, once these results become available, anti-infective therapy should be adjusted accordingly.

Itraconazolo Ratiopharm interactions
See also:
What other drugs will affect Itraconazolo Ratiopharm?
Itraconazolo Ratiopharm and its major metabolite, hydroxyitraconazole, are inhibitors of CYP3A4. Therefore, the following drug interactions may occur :
- Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) may decrease the elimination of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, resulting in increased plasma concentrations of these drugs when they are administered with Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection). These elevated plasma concentrations may increase or prolong both therapeutic and adverse effects of these drugs. Whenever possible, plasma concentrations of these drugs should be monitored, and dosage adjustments made after concomitant Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) therapy is initiated. When appropriate, clinical monitoring for signs or symptoms of increased or prolonged pharmacologic effects is advised. Upon discontinuation, depending on the dose and duration of treatment, Itraconazolo Ratiopharm plasma concentrations decline gradually (especially in patients with hepatic cirrhosis or in those receiving CYP3A4 inhibitors). This is particularly important when initiating therapy with drugs whose metabolism is affected by Itraconazolo Ratiopharm.
- Inducers of CYP3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm. Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) may not be effective in patients concomitantly taking Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and one of these drugs. Therefore, administration of these drugs with Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) is not recommended.
- Other inhibitors of CYP3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm. Patients who must take Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) concomitantly with one of these drugs should be monitored closely for signs or symptoms of increased or prolonged pharmacologic effects of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection).
Table 1: Selected Drugs that are Predicted to Alter the Plasma Concentration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm or Have Their Plasma Concentration Altered by Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) For information on parenterally administered midazolam, see the Benzodiazepine paragraph below.
Antiarrhythmics
The class IA antiarrhythmic quinidine and class III antiarrhythmic dofetilide are known to prolong the QT interval. Coadministration of quinidine or dofetilide with Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) may increase plasma concentrations of quinidine or dofetilide which could result in serious cardiovascular events. Therefore, concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and quinidine or dofetilide is contraindicated.
The class IA antiarrhythmic disopyramide has the potential to increase the QT interval at high plasma concentrations. Caution is advised when Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and disopyramide are administered concomitantly.
Concomitant administration of digoxin and Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) has led to increased plasma concentrations of digoxin via inhibition of P-glycoprotein.
Anticonvulsants
Reduced plasma concentrations of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm were reported when Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) was administered concomitantly with phenytoin. Carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and phenytoin are all inducers of CYP3A4. Although interactions with carbamazepine and phenobarbital have not been studied, concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and these drugs would be expected to result in decreased plasma concentrations of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm. In addition, in vivo studies have demonstrated an increase in plasma carbamazepine concentrations in subjects concomitantly receiving ketoconazole. Although there are no data regarding the effect of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm on carbamazepine metabolism, because of the similarities between ketoconazole and Itraconazolo Ratiopharm, concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and carbamazepine may inhibit the metabolism of carbamazepine.
Antimycobacterials
Drug interaction studies have demonstrated that plasma concentrations of azole antifungal agents and their metabolites, including Itraconazolo Ratiopharm and hydroxyitraconazole, were significantly decreased when these agents were given concomitantly with rifabutin or rifampin. In vivo data suggest that rifabutin is metabolized in part by CYP3A4. Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) may inhibit the metabolism of rifabutin. Although no formal study data are available for isoniazid, similar effects should be anticipated. Therefore, the efficacy of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) could be substantially reduced if given concomitantly with one of these agents. Coadministration is not recommended.
Antineoplastics
Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) may inhibit the metabolism of busulfan, docetaxel, and vinca alkaloids.
Antipsychotics
Pimozide is known to prolong the QT interval and is partially metabolized by CYP3A4. Coadministration of pimozide with Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) could result in serious cardiovascular events. Therefore, concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and pimozide is contraindicated.
Benzodiazepines
Concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and alprazolam, diazepam, oral midazolam, or triazolam could lead to increased plasma concentrations of these benzodiazepines. Increased plasma concentrations could potentiate and prolong hypnotic and sedative effects. Concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and oral midazolam or triazolam is contraindicated. If midazolam is administered parenterally, special precaution and patient monitoring is required since the sedative effect may be prolonged.
Calcium Channel Blockers
Edema has been reported in patients concomitantly receiving Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers. Appropriate dosage adjustment may be necessary.
Calcium channel blockers can have a negative inotropic effect which may be additive to those of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm; Itraconazolo Ratiopharm can inhibit the metabolism of calcium channel blockers such as dihydropyridines (e.g., nifedipine and felodipine) and verapamil. Therefore, caution should be used when co-administering Itraconazolo Ratiopharm and calcium channel blockers due to an increased risk of CHF. Concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and nisoldipine results in clinically significant increases in nisoldipine plasma concentrations which cannot be managed by dosage reduction, therefore the concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and nisoldipine is contraindicated.
Gastrointestinal Motility Agents
Coadministration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) with cisapride can elevate plasma cisapride concentrations which could result in serious cardiovascular events. Therefore, concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) with cisapride is contraindicated.
HMG CoA-Reductase Inhibitors
Human pharmacokinetic data suggest that Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) inhibits the metabolism of atorvastatin, cerivastatin, lovastatin, and simvastatin, which may increase the risk of skeletal muscle toxicity, including rhabdomyolysis. Concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) with HMG CoA-reductase inhibitors, such as lovastatin and simvastatin, is contraindicated.
Immunosuppressants
Concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and cyclosporine or tacrolimus has led to increased plasma concentrations of these immunosuppressants. Concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and sirolimus could increase plasma concentrations of sirolimus.
Macrolide Antibiotics
Erythromycin and clarithromycin are known inhibitors of CYP3A4 and may increase plasma concentrations of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm. In a small pharmacokinetic study involving HIV infected patients, clarithromycin was shown to increase plasma concentrations of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm. Similarly, following administration of 1 gram of erythromycin ethyl succinate and 200 mg Itraconazolo Ratiopharm as single doses, the mean Cmax and AUC 0-∞ of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm increased by 44% (90% CI: 119-175%) and 36% (90% CI: 108-171%), respectively.
Oral Hypoglycemic Agents
Severe hypoglycemia has been reported in patients concomitantly receiving azole antifungal agents and oral hypoglycemic agents. Blood glucose concentrations should be carefully monitored when Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and oral hypoglycemic agents are coadministered.
Polyenes
Prior treatment with Itraconazolo Ratiopharm, like other azoles, may reduce or inhibit the activity of polyenes such as amphotericin B. However, the clinical significance of this drug effect has not been clearly defined.
Protease Inhibitors
Concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and protease inhibitors metabolized by CYP3A4, such as indinavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir, may increase plasma concentrations of these protease inhibitors. In addition, concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and indinavir and ritonavir (but not saquinavir) may increase plasma concentrations of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm. Caution is advised when Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and protease inhibitors must be given concomitantly.
Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Nevirapine is an inducer of CYP3A4. In vivo studies have shown that nevirapine induces the metabolism of ketoconazole, significantly reducing the bioavailability of ketoconazole. Studies involving nevirapine and Itraconazolo Ratiopharm have not been conducted. However, because of the similarities between ketoconazole and Itraconazolo Ratiopharm, concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and nevirapine is not recommended. In a clinical study, when 8 HIV-infected subjects were treated concomitantly with Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) Capsules 100 mg twice daily and the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor zidovudine 8 ± 0.4 mg/kg/day, the pharmacokinetics of zidovudine were not affected. Other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors have not been studied.
Other
- Levacetylmethadol (levomethadyl) is known to prolong the QT interval and is metabolized by CYP3A4. Co-administration of levacetylmethadol with Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) could result in serious cardiovascular events. Therefore, concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and levacetylmethadol is contraindicated.
- Elevated concentrations of ergot alkaloids can cause ergotism, ie. a risk for vasospasm potentially leading to cerebral ischemia and/or ischemia of the extremities. Concomitant administration of ergot alkaloids such as dihydroergotamine, ergometrine (ergonovine), ergotamine and methylergometrine (methylergonovine) with Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) is contraindicated.
- Halofantrine has the potential to prolong the QT interval at high plasma concentrations. Caution is advised when Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and halofantrine are administered concomitantly.
- In vitro data suggest that alfentanil is metabolized by CYP3A4. Administration with Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) may increase plasma concentrations of alfentanil.
- Human pharmacokinetic data suggest that concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and buspirone results in significant increases in plasma concentrations of buspirone.
- Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) may inhibit the metabolism of certain glucocorticosteroids such as budesonide, dexamethasone, fluticasone and methylprednisolone.
- In vitro data suggest that trimetrexate is extensively metabolized by CYP3A4. In vitro animal models have demonstrated that ketoconazole potently inhibits the metabolism of trimetrexate. Although there are no data regarding the effect of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm on trimetrexate metabolism, because of the similarities between ketoconazole and Itraconazolo Ratiopharm, concomitant administration of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and trimetrexate may inhibit the metabolism of trimetrexate.
- Cilostazol and eletriptan are CYP3A4 metabolized drugs that should be used with caution when co-administered with Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection).
- Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) enhances the anticoagulant effect of coumarin-like drugs, such as warfarin.
- Fentanyl plasma concentrations could be increased or prolonged by concomitant use of Itraconazolo Ratiopharm® (Itraconazolo Ratiopharm injection) and may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression.
