For how long do I need to take Itrano 200mg Capsule?

However, for vaginal candidiasis, treatment durations can vary from one day to three days, depending on your doctor's prescribed dosage.
I am taking Itrano 200mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itrano 200mg Capsule without completing the entire course because this may not fully eradicate the fungal infection. It usually takes about six to nine months for nail lesions to disappear as new nails grow after the fungus is eliminated. Do not worry if there is no improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor might be checking your liver function with a blood test. Itrano 200mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage, so it is important to report any symptoms of liver problems like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain to your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itrano 200mg Capsule together?
Itrano 200mg Capsule can be utilized effectively when there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications for heartburn or indigestion (antacids) neutralize acids produced by the stomach. Therefore, you should take antacids or similar medications two hours after taking Itrano 200mg Capsule. You can also combine them with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrano 200mg Capsule?
Sometimes, fungi can mutate within the body, which makes the medicine ineffective. This is known as drug resistance. There have been reports of some candida species ( krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis) becoming resistant to Itrano 200mg Capsule. To avoid this, it is important to complete your course of treatment and follow your doctor's instructions.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrano 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both alprazolam and Itrano 200mg Capsule together. However, keep an eye out for any side effects of alprazolam like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any side effects appear after taking Itrano 200mg Capsule, speak to your doctor who may adjust the dosage of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itrano 200mg Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection. Why is that?
Your doctor didn't prescribe Itrano 200mg Capsule for your friend because the medication may interfere with the function of dofetilide, which your friend was already taking. This interference can lead to disturbances in heart electrical activity, which can be harmful.
