The recommended adult starting dose of voriconazole is either 200 mg or 400 mg, taken 12 hours apart for the first 24 hours. After the first 24 hours, the recommended dose is 100 mg or 200 mg, taken twice daily.  For both the starting dose and the maintenance dose, the dose used depends on your body weight and the type of infection. Your dose may be adjusted by your doctor depending on how you respond to voriconazole and the side effects you experience.

Voriconazole tablets should be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

Voriconazole oral suspension must be taken 1 hour before or after a meal.

If you are using the oral suspension, shake the closed bottle for approximately 10 seconds before each use. The suspension should only be administered using the oral dispenser supplied with each pack.

Voriconazole oral suspension should not be mixed with any other medication or flavouring agent and it should not be further diluted with water or any other drinks.

Injection: The dose for voriconazole intravenous (into the vein) injection depends on body weight and the type of infection. Your doctor will determine the right dose for you. The typical recommended starting dose of voriconazole injection during the first 24 hours is 2 doses of 6 mg for each kilogram of body weight, given 12 hours apart. After the first 24 hours, the recommended dose is 3 mg or 4 mg for each kilogram of body weight twice daily. Intravenous treatment with voriconazole should not exceed 6 months. The dose is usually injected slowly into a vein over 1 to 2 hours in a clinic setting (e.g., hospital). Your dose may be adjusted by your doctor depending on how you respond to voriconazole and the side effects you experience.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Your dose may be adjusted by your doctor depending on how you respond to voriconazole and the side effects you experience.

It is important to use Sandoz Voriconazole exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.

Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Voriconazole tablets and oral suspension, as well as the injectable forms of Sandoz Voriconazole, should be stored at room temperature. Keep it out of reach of children. Safely discard any suspension that is left over after 14 days.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
