How do I take voriconazole?

Follow your doctor’s dosing instructions carefully, and don’t stop taking voriconazole before finishing your prescribed course of treatment, even if you feel better. Take each dose at least one hour before or one hour after eating a meal, only as often as prescribed (usually once every 12 hours). Try to take this drug at the same time(s) every day to keep the amount of medicine in your body consistent.

What if I forget to take a dose of voriconazole?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember if it is only shortly after the time you normally take it. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and get back to your regular schedule.

Warnings

Because voriconazole can cause blurred vision, you should avoid driving and operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Avoid alcoholic beverages during your course of treatment, since the interaction of alcohol and voriconazole can increase your risk for liver damage.
