Sporanox PulsePak Description

Our bodies are home to many kinds of bacteria and fungi and, for the most part, they keep to themselves and help protect us from other microorganisms that can make us ill. For reasons not always clear, if your body experiences an overgrowth of these fungi, you could get an infection. Sporanox PulsePak is formulated to treat Onychomycosis, a nail fungus that occurs more commonly under, on, or in toenails, but does happen to fingernails as well. Your nails begin to look white, thickened, and brittle as the fungus gains more ground.

Itraconazole Interferes with an Essential Enzyme the Fungi Need for Survival

The active ingredient of Sporanox PulsePak is called Itraconazole, an antifungal azole drug that will help resolve your fungal infection through a unique plan called pulse dosing, hence the name Sporanox PulsePak. This treatment involves taking Itraconazole for 1 week, then nothing for 3 weeks, and repeat for as many times as your doctor recommends.

Sporanox PulsePak works by inhibiting the action of an enzyme in order to block the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component for building cell walls. This will cause a disruption to fungal cell membranes that allows holes to form so the membranes become leaky and the fungus cannot grow or reproduce.

Risk Factors for Fungal Nail Infections

Some individuals are at a higher risk for fungal nail infections, including those with diabetes, a weakened immune system, are over 65 years of age, have a job that requires wearing gloves or boots for extended periods, or you wear artificial nails. Manicures and pedicures are great, but if the salon you choose lacks the proper hygiene when it comes to the tools of their trade, you could end up with a fungal nail infection.

Athletes have to be diligent with cleaning and drying their feet after being in sweaty, moist running shoes so often. Fungi love the warm and damp environment of foot wear, rubber gloves, community showers, and public swimming pool areas.

Before Sporanox PulsePak is Prescribed

Ask your doctor if there are risks involved with taking Sporanox PulsePak while you are pregnant, if you become pregnant during treatment, or are breast feeding. To determine if Sporanox PulsePak is safe for you, discuss other medical conditions or allergies with your doctor and list any OTC or Rx drugs you currently use or take, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements.

Important Info About Taking Sporanox PulsePak

Do not stop, start, or change your dosage of any medications you are taking while using Sporanox PulsePak without your doctors’ knowledge. If you are diabetic, monitor your blood glucose while taking Itraconazole in case it drops too low.
