Per cosa si usa
Come agisce
Fungicidal triazole that blocks ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, causing methylated sterol precursors to accumulate and ergosterol to deplete, which weakens the fungal cell membrane.
Dose abituale nell'adulto (sintesi del foglio illustrativo)
Invasive aspergillosis or mucormycosis (adults): loading dose 200 mg isavuconazole IV every 8 hours for the first 48 hours (six administrations); then maintenance 200 mg once daily, starting 12 to 24 hours after the last loading dose.
