VORTERO 200MG INJECTION

Vortero 200mg injection is an antifungal medication that features Voriconazole as its active ingredient. It falls under the category of fungal ergosterol synthesis inhibitors. This drug is utilized for treating severe, life-threatening fungal infections and is also prescribed as a preventive measure for individuals at high risk, such as those who have undergone bone marrow transplants. It is important to note that this medication should not be administered to children under the age of 2.

Patients should refrain from using this medication if they have an allergy to Voriconazole or any other components. Prior to receiving Vortero 200mg injection, it is essential to inform your healthcare provider if you have experienced allergic reactions to other azole medications, have liver disease or a history of it, or suffer from cardiomyopathy, irregular heartbeats, slow heart rate, or a condition known as ‘long QTc syndrome’ as indicated on an electrocardiogram (ECG). Furthermore, it is vital to avoid sun exposure during the treatment period, ensuring skin protection through clothing and high-SPF sunscreen. These precautions should also be observed for children. Common side effects may include fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, swelling in the extremities, abdominal pain, and difficulty breathing.

While undergoing treatment with this medication, it is crucial to promptly notify your doctor if you experience sunburn, severe skin rashes or blisters, bone pain, symptoms of adrenal insufficiency (such as chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, and abdominal pain), or signs of Cushing’s syndrome (including weight gain, a fatty hump, a rounded face, darkened skin, thinning skin, easy bruising, elevated blood sugar levels, excessive hair growth, and excessive sweating). Additionally, inform your healthcare provider if you have a known intolerance to certain sugars before starting Vortero 200mg injection, as this medication contains lactose.
