Orungal is an antifungal medicine whose active substance is itraconazole. If you stop using it for the holiday season, you should consult the doctor who prescribed this medication for appropriate recommendations.

Itraconazole has a long effect in the body, but the time it takes for it to be eliminated from the body can vary from person to person. Usually, after stopping the use of the medicine,
Within 7 to 14 days, itraconazole plasma concentrations decrease to almost
undetectable, depending on the dose and duration of treatment. However, if treatment is discontinued, it may be necessary to resume treatment from where it was interrupted to prevent the fungal infection from returning.
It is worth remembering that discontinuation of treatment alone may lead to a recurrence of the infection or the occurrence of resistance to the drug. Therefore, any modifications in therapy, including discontinuation of the drug, should be made after consultation with the attending physician who is familiar with your health condition in detail:
