We also anticipate being able to handle more complex scenarios such as using primary insurance combined with a manufacturer copay assistance program.

What should I do if I miss my dose?

Active ingredient of posaconazole and mechanism of action

Posaconazole is a triazole antifungal medication. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, posaconazole prevents the growth and replication of various fungal pathogens.

Posaconazole is primarily used for the prophylaxis of invasive fungal infections in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation who have graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and patients with hematological malignancies receiving chemotherapy, or those with prolonged neutropenia. It is effective against various fungal pathogens, including Aspergillus and Candida species. Posaconazole also shows good results for the treatment of fungal infections refractory to other antifungal therapy.

Forms of posaconazole

Posaconazole is available in different dosage forms, including posaconazole oral suspension, delayed-release tablets, and intravenous (IV) injection formulations.

Dosage of posaconazole

Posaconazole may be taken during or right after a full meal or liquid nutritional supplement. It may also be consumed with an acidic beverage. Posaconazole has an average half-life of 35 hours. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

  • Posaconazole should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks. It is not recommended for use while breastfeeding
  • Tell your doctor if you are allergic to posaconazole or other azole antifungal medications such as fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, or voriconazole
  • Tell your doctor if you have an irregular heartbeat, problems with blood circulation, or low calcium, magnesium, or potassium blood levels
