Frequently asked questions
What is Skinaz 100 Capsule used for?
Skinaz 100 Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can cause ringworm, foot infections, groin and buttocks infections, persistent fingernail and toenail fungus, persistent yeast infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also used to treat cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Skinaz 100 Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type, site of infection, and your response to treatment. For example, if treating athlete's foot (a fungal skin infection of the feet and between the toes), the dosage may be taken for 30 days, while a vaginal candidiasis (yeast) infection would range from one day to three days depending on the doctor’s advice.
I am taking Skinaz 100 Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Skinaz 100 Capsule without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as new nails grow after the fungus is eliminated from your body.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor likely wants to monitor your liver’s function. Skinaz 100 Capsule can cause serious liver damage, so if you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Skinaz 100 Capsule, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Skinaz 100 Capsule together?
Skinaz 100 Capsule can be utilized by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach, so it should be taken with Skinaz 100 Capsule about 2 hours after you've taken your antacid. If taking antacids, drink Skinaz 100 Capsule with cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Skinaz 100 Capsule?
Sometimes the fungus changes in your body and the medicine no longer works. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Skinaz 100 Capsule has been reported with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Skinaz 100 Capsule should not be used for infections caused by these species. Take the complete course of Skinaz 100 Capsule to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Skinaz 100 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Skinaz 100 Capsule together; however, keep an eye out for side effects like lightheadedness or drowsiness, as these may occur. If you notice any side effects after taking Skinaz 100 Capsule, talk to your doctor. They might adjust the dose of your Alprazolam medication.
My doctor prescribed Skinaz 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 Skinaz 100 Capsule to your friend because it can interfere with the working of dofetilide, which might cause disturbed electrical activity in the heart and potentially be harmful to the patient.
