Frequently asked questions
What is Ausitra's 200mg Capsule used for?
Ausitra's 200mg Capsule is a medication used to treat various fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It can be used to treat ringworm, athlete's foot, infections of the groin and buttocks, persistent fingernail and toenail infections, candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance, and cryptococcal infection.
For how long do I need to take Ausitra's 200mg Capsule?
The length of treatment depends on the type and site of infection. For example, athlete's foot may require a 30-day course, while candidal infections of the vagina or mouth/throat may require a shorter course (1-3 days). It is essential to complete the full treatment course as directed by your doctor.
I am taking Ausitra's 200mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, do not stop taking Ausitra's 200mg Capsule without completing the entire treatment course. It may take about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as new nail growth occurs after the fungus has been eliminated.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is monitoring your liver's functioning due to the potential risk of serious liver damage associated with Ausitra's 200mg Capsule. Report any signs of liver problems such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain immediately.
Can I take antacids and Ausitra's 200mg Capsule together?
Take antacids about 2 hours after taking Ausitra's 200mg Capsule to ensure proper absorption. If you are taking antacids that neutralize stomach acid, take Ausitra's 200mg Capsule with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Ausitra's 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body become modified and the medication no longer works. Resistance to Ausitra's 200mg Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Take the complete treatment course as directed by your doctor to avoid developing drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Ausitra's 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Ausitra's 200mg Capsule together; however, monitor the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Ausitra's 200mg Capsule, consult your doctor who will modify the dose of alprazolam if necessary.
My doctor prescribed Ausitra's 200mg 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 Ausitra's 200mg Capsule to your friend because Ausitra's 200mg Capsule interferes with the working of dofetilide, which can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart and be harmful.
