Clinical Info

Monitoring trough levels of posaconazole is suggested in patients with suboptimal nutritional intake (and therefore requiring food and liquid nutritional supplementation), or in patients with gastrointestinal disease such as mucositis, diarrhea, vomiting or GVHD. Monitoring trough levels of posaconazole is also suggested in patients treated with other drugs that either induce or inhibit CYP450 isoenzymes or that serve as substrates for these isoenzymes.
