About Itwage Gel 60 gm

Itwage Gel 60 gm is used in the treatment, prevention, and control of fungal infections, flaky discoloured patches on the back and chest and infections in neutropenia (low count of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell) or aids patients. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection.

Itwage Gel 60 gm contains itraconazole, which works by destroying the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents.

Some people may experience an itchy skin rash, redness, or a burning sensation of the skin. Most of these side effects of Itwage Gel 60 gm do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Itwage Gel 60 gm is for external use only. Use Itwage Gel 60 gm as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Itwage Gel 60 gm for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition.

If you are using any other topical medicines, inform your doctor before starting Itwage Gel 60 gm so that the dose may be adjusted. If you are allergic to Itwage Gel 60 gm or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. In case Itwage Gel 60 gm comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to consult a doctor before using Itwage Gel 60 gm.

Uses of Itwage Gel 60 gm

Your doctor may recommend this medication to help manage the following conditions:

  • Ringworm (tinea corporis): It helps clear the fungal infection causing red, itchy, circular skin rashes on the body.
  • Athlete's foot (tinea pedis): It targets the fungus on the feet, relieving scaling, peeling, and itching between the toes.
  • Jock itch (tinea cruris): It treats fungal infections in the groin area, reducing redness, chafing, and burning discomfort.

Key Benefits

When taken consistently as directed, this medication may provide the following physiological benefits:

  • Relief from intense itching and burning: It calms irritated skin quickly, helping you feel more comfortable throughout the day.
  • Clearer skin appearance: It gradually reduces the redness, scaling, and inflamed patches associated with fungal overgrowth.
  • Prevents fungal spread: By stopping the growth of the fungi on the skin surface, it helps prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of your body.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
  • Take a small amount of Itwage Gel 60 gm on the fingertip and apply as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area as advised by your doctor.

How Itwage Gel 60 gm Works

This medicine contains Itwage Gel 60 gm. It works by blocking a fungal enzyme called sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51), a fungal enzyme, which is needed to produce ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane loses its normal structure and function, causing the essential components of the fungal cells to leak out. This action effectively stops the fungus from multiplying and kills the existing infection, allowing your skin to heal naturally over time.
