Apexitra SB 130 Capsule is an antifungal medication used to treat infections of the mouth, throat, vagina, and other parts of the body including fingernails and toenails. Apexitra SB 130 Capsule should be taken in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. It should be swallowed whole and can be taken with food. To get the most benefit, take this medicine at evenly spaced times and continue using it until your prescription is finished, even if your symptoms disappear after a few days. If you stop the treatment too early, the infection may return and if you miss doses, you can increase your risk of infections that are resistant to further treatment. Tell your doctor if the infection does not get better or if it gets worse.
Apexitra SB 130 Capsule is an antifungal medication. It kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane. This treats your skin infection.
What is Apexitra SB 130 Capsule used for?
Apexitra SB 130 Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. The infections may be ringworm, foot infection, or groin/buttock infections.

This medicine is also used to treat cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Apexitra SB 130 Capsule?
The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. For example, if you are treating athlete’s foot (fungal skin infection), treatment may involve taking Apexitra SB 130 Capsule for 30 days. However, in cases of vaginal yeast infections or Candida infections in the mouth or throat, the duration of treatment may be from one day to three days depending on the doctor's prescribed dosage.
I am taking Apexitra SB 130 Capsule for nail infection but there doesn’t seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must not stop taking Apexitra SB 130 Capsule without completing the full course of treatment as stopping early may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about six to nine months for nail lesions to disappear because, after the medicine eliminates the fungus, new nails grow over a period of time. Do not worry if you don’t see improvement during the treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely conducting liver function tests as Apexitra SB 130 Capsule can cause serious liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Apexitra SB 130 Capsule, notify your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Apexitra SB 130 Capsule together?
Apexitra SB 130 Capsule is effective for treatment when there are adequate acid levels in the stomach. Medicines designed to treat ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion work by neutralizing the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or similar medicines approximately two hours after taking Apexitra SB 130 Capsules. If you are using antacids (medicines that prevent the production of stomach acid), combine them with Apexitra SB 130 Capsule capsules and drink cola to maximize their efficacy.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Apexitra SB 130 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi mutate in your body, making the medicine ineffective. This can happen with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Resistance to Apexitra SB 130 Capsule has been reported for these Candida species. It is essential not to use Apexitra SB 130 Capsule for infections caused by these species. Complete the prescribed dosage of Apexitra SB 130 Capsules to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Apexitra SB 130 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Apexitra SB 130 Capsule together, but monitor the side effects of Alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these effects appear after taking Apexitra SB 130 Capsule, talk to your doctor who can adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Apexitra SB 130 Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
