Yeacon is a brand name for a medication containing itraconazole, which is an antifungal drug used to treat a variety of fungal infections. It kills fungi by destroying fungal cell membrane. Yeacon capsules are to be taken orally for optimal duration. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the type and severity of fungal infections.

Dosage as prescribed by the physician.
Itraconazole is a triazole antifungal that works by disrupting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. It does this by inhibiting the fungal-specific enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase. This blockage prevents the conversion of lanosterol into ergosterol, causing toxic sterol precursors to accumulate inside the fungal cell. The resulting damaged and weakened cell membrane leads to leakage of the cell's contents, effectively killing the fungus and clearing the infection.
