Itraconazole

Fungal skin infections (such as tinea), fungal nail infections, oral thrush, and some cases of vaginal thrush.

Itraconazole blocks the fungus from making ergosterol, a building block of its cell membrane, so the fungus cannot grow.

Adults with a confirmed fungal infection. Not suitable if you have heart failure or liver disease, or take certain heart, cholesterol or sedative medicines.
