M IT 200mg Tablet 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.

I am taking M IT 200mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must not stop taking M IT 200mg Tablet without completing the entire course. This is crucial because stopping early might not completely cure the fungal infection. Fungal infections often require prolonged treatment (6-9 months) for complete resolution as new nails grow after the medication eliminates the fungus. Continue your prescribed medication and do not worry if you don’t see improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
