Hyphoral Tablets indications
Hyphoral Tablets is an imidazole antifungal administered topically or by mouth. It is given by mouth in chronic mucocutaneous or vaginal candidiasis, in fungal infections of the gastrointestinal tract, in dermatophyte infections of the skin and fingernails not responding to topical treatment, and in systemic infections including blastomycosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, and paracoccidioidomycosis.
It has been given for the prophylaxis of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, although fluconazole or itraconazole are usually preferred. It has been recommended that, because of its erratic absorption and slow therapeutic response, Hyphoral Tablets should not be used for the treatment of life-threatening fungal infections, including fungal meningitis, or for severe infections in immunocompromised patients. Also, because of the risk of hepatotoxicity the use of Hyphoral Tablets in nonsystemic fungal infections tends to be restricted to serious infections resistant to other treatment.

Uses of Hyphoral Tablets in details
Use: Labeled Indications
Fungal infections (systemic):
US labeling: Treatment of susceptible systemic fungal infections, including blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, and chromomycosis in patients who have failed or who are intolerant to other antifungal therapies
Limitations of use: Hyphoral Tablets should only be used when other effective antifungal therapy is not available or tolerated and the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks. Hyphoral Tablets tablets are not indicated for the treatment of onychomycosis, cutaneous dermatophyte infections, or Candida infections.

Off Label Uses
Cushing syndrome
Data from a retrospective multicenter study support the use of Hyphoral Tablets in the management of patients with Cushing disease. The study authors found the side effects of Hyphoral Tablets to be acceptable; however, close monitoring of liver enzymes is advised. Additional trials may be necessary to further define the role of Hyphoral Tablets in this condition.

What other drugs will affect Hyphoral Tablets?
Hyphoral Tablets is a potent inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme system. Coadministration of Hyphoral Tablets Tablets and drugs primarily metabolized by the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme system may result in increased plasma concentrations of the drugs that could increase or prolong both therapeutic and adverse effects.
Hyphoral Tablets Tablets inhibit the metabolism of terfenadine, resulting in an increased plasma concentration of terfenadine.
Hyphoral Tablets inhibits the metabolism of astemizole. Hyphoral Tablets potently inhibits the metabolism of cisapride resulting in a mean eight-fold increase in AUC of cisapride.
Hyphoral Tablets Tablets may alter the metabolism of cyclosporine, tacrolimus, and methylprednisolone, resulting in elevated plasma concentrations of the latter drugs.
Coadministration of Hyphoral Tablets Tablets with midazolam or triazolam has resulted in elevated plasma concentrations of the latter two drugs.
It is, therefore, advisable to monitor digoxin concentrations in patients receiving Hyphoral Tablets.
When taken orally, imidazole compounds like Hyphoral Tablets may enhance the anticoagulant effect of coumarin-like drugs.
a potential interaction involving the latter agents when used concomitantly with Hyphoral Tablets Tablets (an imidazole) can not be ruled out.
Concomitant administration of Hyphoral Tablets Tablets with phenytoin may alter the metabolism of one or both of the drugs.
Concomitant administration of rifampin with Hyphoral Tablets Tablets reduces the blood levels of the latter. INH (isoniazid) is also reported to affect Hyphoral Tablets concentrations adversely.
Hyphoral Tablets side effects

What are the possible side effects of Hyphoral Tablets?
Topically applied Hyphoral Tablets appears to have a low order of toxicity and is generally well tolerated. Adverse effects have been reported in up to 5% of patients receiving Hyphoral Tablets 2% cream and have consisted principally of local reactions such as severe irritation, pruritus, and stinging. A painful allergic reaction, consisting of localized swelling and inflammation, occurred in at least one patient receiving Hyphoral Tablets 2% cream and contact dermatitis occurred in another.
In several studies evaluating the potential of topical Hyphoral Tablets for causing dermal irritation, contact sensitization, or phototoxic or photoallergenic reactions in healthy adults, topical application of Hyphoral Tablets 2% cream caused mild transient erythema in some individuals, but did not cause contact sensitization of the delayed hypersensitivity type, irritation, phototoxicity, or photocontact sensitization.
Contact dermatitis has been reported following topical application of imidazole-derivative azole antifungals (e.g., clotrimazole, econazole, miconazole, oxiconazole, sulconazole, tioconazole). Cross-sensitization appears to occur among the imidazole derivatives; however, cross-sensitivity appears to be unpredictable. The fact that patients with contact sensitivity to one imidazole-derivative azole antifungal may be sensitive to other similar drugs should be considered.
Although hepatotoxicity has occurred during treatment with oral Hyphoral Tablets, it is unlikely that this adverse effect would occur with Hyphoral Tablets 2% cream since the drug does not appear to be appreciably absorbed following topical application to skin.
Adverse effects reported in patients receiving topical Hyphoral Tablets 2% as a shampoo applied to the skin include pruritus, application site reaction, and dry skin. Adverse effects reported in patients receiving Hyphoral Tablets shampoo to the scalp include increased hair loss, irritation, abnormal hair texture, scalp pustules, dry skin, pruritus, and oiliness or dryness of the hair and scalp. In some patients with permanently waved (“permed”) hair, use of Hyphoral Tablets 2% shampoo resulted in loss of the curl.

What is the most important information I should know about Hyphoral Tablets?
Drug Interactions
Coadministration of a number of CYP3A4 substrates such as dofetilide, quinidine cisapride and pimozide is contraindicated with Hyphoral Tablets® Tablets. Coadministration with Hyphoral Tablets can cause elevated plasma concentrations of these drugs and may increase or prolong both therapeutic and adverse effects to such an extent that a potentially serious adverse reaction may occur. For example, increased plasma concentrations of some of these drugs can lead to QT prolongation and sometimes resulting in life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias including occurrences of torsades de pointes, a potentially fatal arrhythmia.
Additionally, the following other drugs are contraindicated with Hyphoral Tablets® Tablets: methadone, disopyramide, dronedarone, ergot alkaloids such as dihydroergotamine, ergometrine, ergotamine, methylergometrine, irinotecan, lurasidone, oral midazolam, alprazolam, triazolam, felodipine, nisoldipine, ranolazine, tolvaptan, eplerenone, lovastatin, simvastatin and colchicine.
Enhanced Sedation
Coadministration of Hyphoral Tablets® Tablets with oral midazolam, oral triazolam or alprazolam has resulted in elevated plasma concentrations of these drugs. This may potentiate and prolong hypnotic and sedative effects, especially with repeated dosing or chronic administration of these agents. Concomitant administration of Hyphoral Tablets® Tablets with oral triazolam, oral midazolam or alprazolam is contraindicated.
Myopathy
