About Vorispore Tablet 4's

Vorispore Tablet 4's contains ‘Voriconazole’ that kills or prevents fungi or yeast by inhibiting an enzyme in fungi, which interferes with the fungal cell membrane's formation.

In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as vomiting, headache, nausea, abnormal liver function tests, rash, slow heart rate, and altered vision. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take Vorispore Tablet 4's if you have had an allergic reaction to Vorispore Tablet 4's or any of its ingredients. Vorispore Tablet 4's is associated with liver toxicity, including fatalities in patients with other serious underlying diseases.
