Voriconazole treats serious mould and other invasive fungal infections. It belongs to the Antifungal (systemic, advanced) group. These treat serious internal fungal infections and some resistant skin/nail cases.
Not a prescription — no dose shown. The right dose of voriconazole depends on age, weight, kidney/liver function and the condition, so MedDroid does not show a dose here. Always get your dose from a doctor or pharmacist and the leaflet inside the pack. General educational information only.
Frequently asked questions
Why do serious fungal infections need strong antifungals?
Deep or bloodstream fungal infections can be life-threatening and need potent, closely monitored antifungals, often given in hospital.
Is nystatin absorbed into the body?
Barely — it acts locally in the mouth or gut, which makes it useful for oral/gut thrush with few whole-body effects.
