Posaconazole

Posaconazole is an antifungal medication used to prevent and treat a variety of fungal infections, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems. It is part of the azole class of antifungal drugs and works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Posaconazole is available in several formulations, including oral suspension, delayed-release tablets, and intravenous infusion, allowing it to be used in various clinical scenarios. Its use should be guided by a healthcare professional, who will consider factors like the patient's specific condition, potential drug interactions, and possible side effects.
