Canoipoz -GR ( posaconazole 100 mg )

Canoipoz-GR, also known as Posaconazole 100 mg , is an antifungal medication that employs posaconazole as its active ingredient. It works by either inhibiting the growth or eradicating certain types of fungi, making it effective in the prevention and treatment of various fungal infections.

When conventional antifungal drugs have proven unsuccessful or had to be discontinued, Posaconazole 100 mg is recommended for use in adults. It is particularly useful in managing infections caused by Aspergillus and Fusarium fungi, as well as those responsible for chromoblastomycosis, mycetoma, and Coccidioides. These infections are often resistant to other treatments, such as amphotericin B, itraconazole, or fluconazole.

Posaconazole 100 mg is also utilized for the prevention of fungal infections in adults who are at high risk of developing such infections. This includes patients undergoing chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), as well as those receiving high-dose immunosuppressive therapy after a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
