About Posatral 300mg Injection 16.7 ml

Posatral 300mg Injection 16.7 ml is in a class of medications called azole antifungals. It is used to prevent and treat fungal infections in adults and children two years of age and older with a weakened ability to fight infection. Besides this, it is also used to treat invasive aspergillosis (a serious fungal infection that begins in the lungs and spreads through the bloodstream to other organs) in adults and teenagers 13 years of age and older. Any disease caused by a fungus is known as a fungal infection.

Posatral 300mg Injection 16.7 ml contains a medicine called posaconazole. It is a triazole antifungal agent and exerts its antifungal activity through the blockage of certain enzymes (P-450 dependent enzyme, sterol 14α-demethylase). This leads to inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane, and the accumulation of methylated sterol precursors. This results in the inhibition of fungal cell growth and cell death. Thus, it treats infections.

Posatral 300mg Injection 16.7 ml will be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. You may sometimes experience injection site reactions, fever, headache, chills or shaking, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhoea, nosebleeds and coughing. Most of these side effects of Posatral 300mg Injection 16.7 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic or hypersensitive to any component present in Posatral 300mg Injection 16.7 ml or if you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant, plan to have a baby or are breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe Posatral 300mg Injection 16.7 ml only if the benefits outweigh the risk. Before taking the Posatral 300mg Injection 16.7 ml, inform your doctor about your medical history and ongoing therapies to rule out any potential adverse effects or interactions.

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Fungal infection: Fungal infection occurs when a fungus enters, infects, and multiplies in the body. Fungi can live in water, soil, air, and plants. Fungi affect any body part, including the mouth, throat, oesophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and blood. Mild fungal skin infections are common and can cause rashes. Fungal infections affecting body organs like the lungs can cause flu or tuberculosis. Some fungal diseases like cryptococcal meningitis and blood infections can be fatal. A few common fungal infections are yeast infections that affect the genital area, oesophagus, and urinary tract caused by the species Candida.

    Invasive aspergillosis: Invasive aspergillosis occurs when Aspergillus causes serious infection and usually affects people with weakened immune systems, such as those who have had an organ transplant or a stem cell transplant. Invasive aspergillosis most commonly affects the lungs but can also spread to other body parts.
