| | Itraconazole Assay |
| | Itraconazole is the drug of choice for oral treatment of histoplasmosis and blastomycosis and is often used for aspergillosis. | | | Itraconazole serum drug levels are important to monitor because absorption is variable and dosing may need to be adjusted to maintain the drug concentration in the therapeutic range of 1-10 ug/ml as measured by bioassay. | | | Itraconazole concentration is affected by drugs which lower gastric acidity and thereby reduce its absorption and by those which induce hepatic cytochrome P450 3A enzymes which accelerate itraconazole's metabolism. |
