Frequently asked questions
Can Abinex 500 Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Abinex 500 Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. It's important to obtain a liver function test before starting treatment to assess the effectiveness of the liver. The medication metabolizes through liver enzymes, and any impaired liver function could lead to elevated drug levels in the bloodstream, increasing side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is crucial to inform your doctor if you have liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, notify your doctor about any other medications you're taking as their interactions can contribute to liver toxicity. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) for liver function tests and adjust the dosage accordingly.
Does Abinex 500 Tablet cause skin reactions?
Yes, some individuals taking Abinex 500 Tablet may experience skin reactions. There are rare reports of severe skin/hypersensitivity reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other serious allergic reactions associated with this medication. It's crucial to consult your physician before using this medication. If you encounter any skin reaction or rashes, stop the medication immediately and report it to your doctor.
Is Abinex 500 Tablet effective?
Abinex 500 Tablet is considered effective as an antifungal treatment when taken at the recommended dosage and duration prescribed by your doctor. Do not discontinue the medication even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop taking it prematurely, the fungal infection might persist or worsen due to continued growth.
How long do I need to take Abinex 500 Tablet?
The typical duration of treatment for Tinea pedis (fungal infection of the foot), Tinea corporis (ringworms), and Tinea cruris (fungal infection in the groin) is about 2 to 4 weeks. The duration might extend up to 6 weeks in some cases. For nail fungal infections, the therapy usually lasts from 6 to 12 weeks. For fingernail fungal infections, it can take 6 weeks, while toenail fungal infections may require 12 weeks for complete treatment.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Abinex 500 Tablet?
Consuming caffeinated drinks like tea and coffee should be done with caution while on Abinex 500 Tablet.
