Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does Itrafungol treat ringworm in cats?

Ans: Itrafungol contains itraconazole which targets fungal cell membranes by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. This weakens and destroys Microsporum canis, the organism that causes dermatophytosis in cats. Its ability to accumulate in hair and skin supports continuous antifungal activity during treatment cycles.

Q2: How long does my cat need to take Itrafungol?

Ans: Itrafungol is administered in an alternating week schedule over five weeks. Cats receive treatment during weeks one, three and five, with rest during weeks two and four. This schedule maintains therapeutic levels in hair and skin for effective fungal control.

Q3: Can Itrafungol be given to pregnant or lactating cats?

Ans: Itrafungol has not been proven safe for cats that are pregnant or nursing. Research has shown possible reproductive risks, including fetal resorption and developmental issues. According to the manufacturer, it should only be used if the expected benefits are greater than these known risks.

Q4: What side effects may occur while using Itrafungol?

Ans: Common side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, and increased salivation. Mild liver enzyme increases have also been documented. Rare post approval reports include jaundice, anorexia, weight loss, or more serious reactions. Monitoring during treatment is recommended.

Q5: How should Itrafungol be stored at home?

Ans: Store Itrafungol at room temperature between sixty eight and seventy seven degrees Fahrenheit. Short temperature excursions between fifty nine and eighty six degrees Fahrenheit are acceptable. Keep the bottle securely closed and out of reach of pets and children
