It treats various types of fungal infections, including ringworm, athlete's foot, fungal infections of the feet, groin, and buttocks, as well as persistent infections of the fingernails and toenails, candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat, and infections caused by Histoplasma, aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itrazee 100 Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Itrazee 100 Capsule depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and length of treatment for your specific condition.
I am taking Itrazee 100 Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, it is essential to complete the entire course of Itrazee 100 Capsule as directed by your doctor. Fungal infections can take several months to fully clear up, and stopping treatment prematurely may not completely eliminate the infection.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may have requested blood tests to monitor your liver function, as Itrazee 100 Capsule can cause serious liver damage. If you experience any symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itrazee 100 Capsule, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itrazee 100 Capsule together?
Itrazee 100 Capsule requires sufficient stomach acid to be effective. Antacids or other stomach acid-reducing medications can interfere with this. To minimize this effect, take antacids or similar medications at least 2 hours after taking Itrazee 100 Capsule. If you are taking antacids that stop stomach acid production, take Itrazee 100 Capsule with a cola drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrazee 100 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body adapt and the medicine is no longer effective. Resistance to Itrazee 100 Capsule has been reported with some candida species. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment to avoid developing drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrazee 100 Capsule now?
You can take both Alprazolam and Itrazee 100 Capsule together, but be aware of potential side effects such as drowsiness or lightheadedness. If you experience any side effects after taking Itrazee 100 Capsule, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dose of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itrazee 100 Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
Your doctor did not prescribe Itrazee 100 Capsule to your friend because Itrazee 100 Capsule can interact with dofetilide, potentially causing abnormal heart rhythms. It is essential to inform your doctor about all medications you are taking before starting treatment with Itrazee 100 Capsule.
