Frequently asked questions
What is Aitrazole 200 Capsule used for?
Aitrazole 200 Capsule is a medication used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections may include ringworm, athlete's foot, infection of the groin or buttocks, persistent nail infections, Candida (yeast) infections in the vagina, mouth, or throat, cryptococcal infection, and blastomycosis.
For how long do I need to take Aitrazole 200 Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Aitrazole 200 Capsule depends on the specific type and site of fungal infection, as well as individual patient response. It may be taken for 30 days for athlete's foot, or from 1 day to 3 days depending on the severity and treatment plan advised by a healthcare professional.
I am taking Aitrazole 200 Capsule for nail infection but there doesn’t seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not discontinue your course of Aitrazole 200 Capsule without completing the prescribed medication. This can potentially lead to incomplete fungal elimination, and may require longer treatment in some cases.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely assessing your liver's functionality. Aitrazole 200 Capsule can cause serious liver damage. If you experience any unusual symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking this medication, seek immediate medical attention.
Can I take antacid and Aitrazole 200 Capsule together?
Aitrazole 200 Capsule is effective when taken in a controlled environment within the stomach. Antacids or medications for heartburn, indigestion, or stomach ulcers should be taken 2 hours after taking Aitrazole 200 Capsule. Additionally, you can take your medication with a glass of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Aitrazole 200 Capsule?
Drug resistance refers to the fungal species becoming modified in your body, making the medication less effective. While there have been reports of resistance to some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis), Aitrazole 200 Capsule should not be used for infections caused by these species. It's essential to take the entire course prescribed by your doctor to minimize the risk of developing drug-resistant fungal infections.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Aitrazole 200 Capsule now?
Yes, you can safely take both Alprazolam and Aitrazole 200 Capsule together. However, keep an eye out for any side effects like lightheadedness or drowsiness associated with Alprazolam. If these side effects occur after taking Aitrazole 200 Capsule, consult your doctor who will adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Aitrazole 200 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 Aitrazole 200 Capsule for your friend because the medication can interact with dofetilide, potentially leading to harmful effects such as disturbed electrical activity in the heart.
