In patients taking Voratex for prevention of fungal infections, treatment with Voratex may be discontinued if treatment-related side effects develop.
Forgotten intake of Voratex: It is important to take Voratex tablets regularly at the same time each day. If intake of one dose is forgotten, the next dose should be taken when it is due. A double dose should not be taken to make up for a forgotten dose.
Stopping intake of Voratex: It has been shown that taking all doses at the appropriate times may greatly increase the effectiveness of the medicine. Therefore, unless it has been instructed to stop treatment, it is important to keep taking Voratex correctly, as previously described.
Voratex intake should be continued until instructed to stop. Treatment should not be stopped early because the infection may not be cured. Patients with a weakened immune system or those with difficult infections may require long-term treatment to prevent the infection from returning.
When Voratex treatment is stopped, patients should not experience any effects.
