Itraconazole, a new orally active antifungal, in the treatment of pityriasis versicolor

J Delescluse et al. Br J Dermatol. 1986 Jun.

Abstract

Itraconazole, a new orally active triazole antifungal, has been tested in patients with pityriasis versicolor. A comparison of different dose schedules was carried out in 73 patients. A regime of 100 mg itraconazole daily for 15 days gave a 100% response rate; 200 mg daily for 5 days gave an 80% response rate. Two patients, who had received 50 mg itraconazole for 14 days, relapsed within 2 months of finishing treatment. Only two patients reported minor side-effects.
