Use with caution in cats with renal dysfunction and impaired liver function. Cats suffering from heart disease should be carefully monitored during treatment.
Itrafungol (Elanco)
Itraconazole
Itrafungol is for oral use in cats only and requires a prescription from your veterinarian. Itrafungol is an antifungal oral solution used to treat dermatophytosis, also known as ringworm. Itrafungol can be given with or without food. The solution is available in a 52 ml 10mg/ml bottle and comes with an oral dosing syringe. The solution should be administered orally using the enclosed graduated dosing syringe. Do not invert the bottle when filling the syringe.
Tell your veterinarian if your cat is pregnant, breeding or lactating. Tell your veterinarian if your cat is hypersensitive to Itrafungol's active ingredient, itraconazole. Consult with your veterinarian if your cat has renal dysfunction, impaired liver function, or heart disease.
Itrafungol should be administered orally using the enclosed graduated dosing syringe. The daily dosage is 5 mg/kg (0.5 ml/kg) body weight administered once daily on alternating weeks for 3 treatment cycles. Cats are treated during weeks 1, 3, and 5 and left untreated during weeks 2 and 4. Each line on the dosing syringe represents 0.05 ml of oral solution. Keep the bottle upright and insert the dosing syringe through the opening on the top of the bottle. Do not invert the bottle. Fill the syringe by pulling the plunger until it reaches the graduation corresponding to the correct ml dose as indicated at the top of the syringe ring. Slowly and gently administer the liquid into the mouth, allowing your cat to swallow the product. For cats weighing over 13 lbs, the total dose will need to be calculated and given over two doses as the dosing syringe only holds 3.0 ml of solution.
Side effects of Itrafungol may include hypersalivation during or immediately following dosing, vomiting, and loose stool.
Administer the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose. Do not give a double dose.
If an overdose is suspected, contact your veterinarian.
Avoid giving to pregnant, breeding or lactating pets. Do not give to pets that are hypersensitive to itraconazole.
Tell your veterinarian about any medications or supplements your pet is taking. Itrafungol may interact with amitriptyline, amlodipine, benzodiazepines, buspirone, cisapride, corticosteroids, cyclosporine, ivermectin, and macrolide antibiotics.
Itrafungol can be administered with or without food.
