What is it prescribed for?
Blastomycosis
Blastomycosis is a fungal infection that can affect your lungs and also other parts of the body such as skin, bones, and joints. This condition is mostly asymptomatic (does not show symptoms) in the early stages, and when the infection becomes severe, it shows symptoms like night sweats, fever, cough, weight loss, chest pain, tiredness, etc. I-Win 200 slows down the growth of this fungus and prevents it from spreading, thus it helps in treating the condition.
Histoplasmosis
Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection that primarily affects your lungs. This condition may resolve on its own, but you will need treatment if the condition is severe. I-Win 200 is used to treat this condition by preventing fungal growth.

This infection may become life-threatening if you have a compromised immune system (immune system become weak due to certain medicines or diseases) or other underlying conditions. I-Win slows down the spread of this fungus and thus helps in treating the condition.
