How long voriconazole keeps
No voriconazole label we read sets a separate limit for after opening, but they do specify how it must be stored — and the stability behind any date assumes those conditions.
Does voriconazole expire? The in-use limits and storage rules from its labelsWhat people report to the FDA about voriconazole
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 21,861 reports naming voriconazole, and the FDA flagged 94% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- pyrexia1,088 reports
- pneumonia920 reports
- bronchopulmonary aspergillosis896 reports
- aspergillus infection815 reports
- febrile neutropenia755 reports
- respiratory failure700 reports
- multiple organ dysfunction syndrome615 reports
- neutropenia605 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean voriconazole caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take voriconazole with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run voriconazole against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What brand names is voriconazole sold under?
We track 2 voriconazole-containing products in the U.S.: Voriconazole and Vfend. They are the same active ingredient; they differ in form, manufacturer, price and FDA recall record.
What forms does voriconazole come in?
Across the brands we track, voriconazole is currently marketed as injectable, powder, solution, suspension and tablet, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic voriconazole?
Yes. Our catalog lists 1 generic voriconazole product alongside the brand versions. A generic has the same active ingredient and must meet the FDA's bioequivalence standard; it usually costs less. Ask your pharmacist which one your plan covers.
Has voriconazole been recalled?
The FDA's Enforcement database lists at least 5 recall records whose product description mentions voriconazole. The most recent: Voriconazole Tablets (Mar 24, 2025). A recall applies to specific lots, not to the drug as a whole — check the record for the affected lot numbers.
