Hitzole 100mg Capsule is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the mouth, throat, vagina, and other parts of the body including fingernails and toenails. Hitzole 100mg 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.

What is Hitzole 100mg Capsule used for?

For how long do I need to take Hitzole 100mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection. For example, athlete's foot (fungal skin infection) may require a 30-day treatment course, while candidal vaginal infections might be treated for 1-3 days based on the dosage prescribed by your doctor.
I am taking Hitzole 100mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Hitzole 100mg Capsule without completing the entire treatment course because it may not fully cure the fungal infection. It usually takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as the new nail grows after the fungus is eliminated.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?

Can I take antacid and Hitzole 100mg Capsule together?
Yes, but take antacids about 2 hours after taking Hitzole 100mg Capsule. If you're taking medicines that stop stomach acid production, take Hitzole 100mg Capsule with a cola drink.

I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Hitzole 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Hitzole 100mg Capsule together, but monitor the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Hitzole 100mg Capsule, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Hitzole 100mg Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
