The mechanism of action of itraconazole is the same as the other azole antifungals: it inhibits the fungal-mediated synthesis of ergosterol, via inhibition of lanosterol 14α-demethylase.
The pharmacokinetics of itraconazole in man are characterized by a good oral absorption, an extensive tissue distribution with tissue concentrations many times higher than in plasma, a relatively long elimination half-life of about one day and a biotransformation into a large number of metabolites

No, you should not stop taking Cosbeta ITZ Caps 200 without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection.

Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during the treatment.
