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

I am taking Zalado 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 Zalado 200mg Capsule without completing the entire course of treatment. Fungal infections can be persistent, and stopping treatment early may not completely cure the infection. It is common for nail lesions to take several months to clear up after treatment, as new nail growth takes time. Do not discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring your liver function due to the potential risk of liver damage associated with Zalado 200mg Capsule. If you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Zalado 200mg Capsule, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Zalado 200mg Capsule together?

Take antacids or similar medications 2 hours after taking Zalado 200mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids that stop stomach acid production, take Zalado 200mg Capsule with a cola drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Zalado 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in your body adapt and become less responsive to the medication. Resistance to Zalado 200mg Capsule has been reported with certain candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). It is essential to complete the full course of treatment to avoid developing resistance. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Zalado 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Zalado 200mg Capsule together, but monitor for side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any side effects after taking Zalado 200mg Capsule, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Zalado 200mg Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
