VINOCANAZOL 200 

Voriconazole (200mg)

Voriconazole, available as VINOCANAZOL 200, is a pivotal medication in the management of severe fungal infections. This comprehensive guide aims to provide patients and healthcare providers with essential information about the drug, including its uses, dosage instructions, possible side effects, and interactions with other medications.

Understanding Voriconazole (VINOCANAZOL 200)

Voriconazole is a potent antifungal medication that belongs to the triazole class. It is primarily used to treat serious fungal infections such as invasive aspergillosis and severe candidiasis. Voriconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of the fungal cell membrane, thereby stopping the growth and proliferation of fungal cells.

Indications for Use

VINOCANAZOL 200 is specifically indicated for the treatment of:

1. Invasive Aspergillosis: A life-threatening infection that affects individuals with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients and organ transplant recipients.
2. Serious Candida Infections: Including candidemia, disseminated candidiasis, and esophageal candidiasis, particularly in patients who do not respond to other antifungal treatments.
3. Other Serious Fungal Infections: Such as those caused by Scedosporium and Fusarium species, are rare but can be critical.

Dosage and Administration

The proper dosage of VINOCANAZOL 200 varies depending on the type of infection, the patient's body weight, and their overall health condition:

• Loading Dose: Typically, a loading dose of 6 mg/kg is administered every 12 hours for the first 24 hours to rapidly achieve the desired plasma concentration.
• Maintenance Dose: After the initial loading dose, a maintenance dose of 4 mg/kg is administered every 12 hours.

It is crucial that patients adhere strictly to their prescribed dosages and consult their healthcare provider for any adjustments, especially if there are significant changes in their weight or if they experience side effects.

Potential Side Effects

While VINOCANAZOL 200 is effective in treating fungal infections, it can cause side effects, which vary in severity:

1. Common Side Effects: Include visual disturbances (such as blurred vision), rash, nausea, vomiting, and abnormal liver function tests.
2. Serious Side Effects: May include QT prolongation (a heart rhythm disorder), pancreatitis, and liver damage. Immediate medical attention is necessary if serious side effects occur.

Drug Interactions

VINOCANAZOL 200 interacts with various medications, which can either reduce its efficacy or increase the risk of side effects. It is especially important to avoid the concomitant use of:

• CYP3A4 Inducers: Such as rifampin and carbamazepine, which can significantly decrease voriconazole levels.
• CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Such as ritonavir and ketoconazole, which can increase voriconazole levels and potentially lead to toxicity.
• Other Interactions: Drugs such as warfarin and cyclosporine require close monitoring and potential dosage adjustments.

Conclusion

VINOCANAZOL 200 is a critical drug in the fight against severe fungal infections. Patients prescribed this medication should closely follow their healthcare provider's instructions, be mindful of potential side effects, and ensure that all potential drug interactions are carefully managed. With proper use, VINOCANAZOL 200 can significantly improve outcomes in patients suffering from life-threatening fungal infections. Steris Healthcare Pvt Ltd, established in February 2018 by seasoned professionals in the pharmaceutical sector, operates under the name Sterispharma.
