Itraconazole
 |
Itraconazole is used for the treatment of fungal infections in both HIV- and non-HIV-infected individuals. It is active against fungal infections such as aspergillosis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and candidiasis, as well as fungal infection localized to the toenails and fingernails (onychomycosis). It also is used for treating patients with fever and low white blood cell counts who are likely to develop a fungal infection.
In improving the production process of Itraconazole, 400,000 US Gallons of solvents are no longer used, liquid waste (to be incinerated) was reduced by 920,000 L, and solid waste reduced by 23,000 kgs. There is no more dichloromethane and less butene sent to the volatile organic compound unit and less equipment cleaning.
