Doctors prescribe Ravu capsule for onychomycosis.
Pharmacology
Fosravuconazole L-lysine ethanolate is a prodrug of Ravuconazole, a new triazole antifungal agent with broad and strong activity against fungi. Ravuconazole works by blocking the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a component of the fungal cell membrane, and that is how it kills or stops the growth of the fungus. Structurally it is closer to fluconazole and voriconazole, but it has a thiazole where those medicines have a second triazole. It is usually used to treat onychomycosis. Ravuconazole is highly active against all Aspergillus species (including A. fumigatus and A. flavus isolates), Candida spp., Cryptococcus neoformans and other yeasts, including fluconazole-resistant isolates.
