use Itraconazole STADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to itraconazole or any of the other ingredients of Itraconazole Stada (see section 6 Further information, at the end of this leaflet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; if you are pregnant or may become pregnant unless your doctor has explicitly stated that you can (see section &#8220;Pregnancy and breastfeeding&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; if you have or have had&nbsp;heart failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; if you are being treated at the same time with any of the following medicines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>terfenadine, astemizole or mizolastine (&nbsp;antihistamines&nbsp;used to treat&nbsp;allergies&nbsp;)<\/li><li>cisapride (for certain digestive

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Antifungal drugs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor if you have previously had a hypersensitivity \/ allergic reaction to any medicine containing an azole substance (eg&nbsp;fluconazole&nbsp;).&nbsp;It is possible that you are then also allergic to Itraconazole Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Liver disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have impaired liver function due to excessive alcohol intake (&nbsp;cirrhosis&nbsp;), your doctor may need to adjust your&nbsp;dosage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kidney disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have impaired kidney function, your doctor may need to adjust your&nbsp;dosage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heart disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you suffer from&nbsp;heart failure&nbsp;(when your heart can no longer pump enough blood with symptoms such as shortness of breath, swollen ankles, and problems with cardio).&nbsp;If you develop any of these symptoms during treatment, stop taking Itraconazole Stada and see a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have or have had&nbsp;heart failure, you should not take Itrakonazole Stada unless your doctor considers the benefits to outweigh the risks.&nbsp;In order for the doctor to be able to determine this, it is important that you tell them if you have any other diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gastric acid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your medicine is better absorbed if your stomach contains stomach acid.&nbsp;If you are taking antacids (eg aluminum hydroxide), take the antacid at least two hours after Itraconazole Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible that your stomach does not contain enough stomach acid so that you do not produce normal levels.&nbsp;This can happen if you have&nbsp;HIV&nbsp;(&nbsp;AIDS&nbsp;) or if you are taking medicines for&nbsp;stomach ulcers&nbsp;such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; H&nbsp;<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;antagonist&nbsp;is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;Proton pump inhibitors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is the case, take Itraconazole Stada with something sour to drink, such as a carbonated soft drink or fruit juice, which are usually acidic.&nbsp;Itraconazole Stada will be properly absorbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Liver disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are taking Itrakonazole Stada, your doctor may need to check your liver function during treatment.&nbsp;If you have any symptoms of&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;of the liver (&nbsp;hepatitis&nbsp;), you must stop taking Itraconazole Stada immediately and contact your doctor.&nbsp;Symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Loss of appetite (&nbsp;anorexia&nbsp;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Nausea<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vomiting<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Fatigue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Stomach pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Dark-colored urine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should not take Itraconazole Stada if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; you have a liver disease<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; your blood tests show elevated levels of liver enzymes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; you have had liver problems in connection with taking medicine before<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neuropathy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you develop signs of nerve damage (&nbsp;neuropathy&nbsp;), you should stop taking Itraconazole Stada.&nbsp;Signs of nerve damage include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>loss of sensation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>shaking<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>tingling and tingling<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; the feeling of weakness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hearing loss<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you notice any hearing loss.&nbsp;The hearing loss usually disappears when treatment is stopped but may persist in some patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High&nbsp;blood pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you have high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;and are being treated with a medicine that belongs to the group of calcium channel blockers (eg dihydropyridines, verapamil).&nbsp;The dosage&nbsp;one with your blood pressure medication may need to be changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resistant&nbsp;infection&nbsp;you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some&nbsp;infections&nbsp;may be resistant to medicines of the same type as Itraconazole Stada.&nbsp;For example, cod may be&nbsp;resistant&nbsp;to treatment with&nbsp;fluconazole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you have previously been treated with&nbsp;fluconazole&nbsp;for cod without effect.&nbsp;Your doctor may consider prescribing a medicine other than Itrakonazole Stada.&nbsp;Your doctor may also perform a test to find out if Itraconazole Stada will be effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patients with immediate life-threatening systemic fungal infections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Itraconazole Stada capsules are not recommended for initiating treatment of patients with direct life-threatening systemic fungal infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you have&nbsp;AIDS&nbsp;or your immune system is not working as well as it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Children and the elderly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Itraconazole Stada capsules are not normally given to children or the elderly.&nbsp;DO NOT
