Posahit 40mg Suspension 105ml is an azole antifungal containing posaconazole. It is used to treat and prevent certain fungal infections. The medication is commonly prescribed for preventing and treating invasive fungal infections in patients with weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing cancer chemotherapy, stem cell transplantation, or those with HIV/AIDS. It also treats certain fungal infections in individuals who cannot tolerate or have not responded to other antifungal treatments.
This drug is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to other azole antifungals such as ketoconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, or voriconazole.

Inform your doctor immediately if you experience severe kidney problems, diarrhoea, or vomiting during treatment, as these conditions may affect the medicine's effectiveness.
