Itrafungol (Itraconazole) Oral Solution for Cats is a prescription medication used for treating ringworm. FDA approved for cats, Itrafungol effectively eradicates ringworms associated with Microsporum canis. It comes in a liquid form with a tasty cherry-caramel flavor to encourage cats to swallow it. Comes in a 52 mL bottle.How it Works

Itraconazole is a broad-spectrum, synthetic triazole antimycotic that is effective against zygomycetes and eumycetes (like Aspergillus spp.), many types of dimorphic fungi, yeast (Malassezia spp. and Candida spp.), and dermatophytes (Microsporum spp. and Trichophyton spp.). Itraconazole works by binding to the cytochrome p-450 isoenzymes of fungi. This process inhibits ergosterol synthesis, affecting the function of membrane-bound enzymes and permeability of membranes. The effect is irreversible, resulting in degeneration of structures.

• Not for use in lactating or pregnant cats.
• Never administer to a cat with impaired kidney or liver function.
