Frequently asked questions
What is Borit SB 130mg Capsule used for?
Borit SB 130mg Capsule is indicated for treating fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes ringworm infection, foot infections, groin and buttocks infections, and persistent infections of the fingernails and toenails. It's also used to treat candidiasis (yeast) infections in the vagina, mouth or throat, as well as cryptococcal infection and Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces infections.
For how long do I need to take Borit SB 130mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific type and site of fungal infection, as well as your individual response. For example, in cases of athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet), treatment may require 30 days. In contrast, for candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina, the course can range from 1 day to 3 days depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
I am taking Borit SB 130mg Capsule for a nail infection but I'm not seeing any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not discontinue Borit SB 130mg Capsule without completing the entire course. This is important as stopping early might not fully eliminate the fungal infection. It can take several months for nail lesions to clear completely, as new nails grow and develop after the treatment eliminates the fungus.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor might be doing blood tests to monitor your liver's function. Borit SB 130mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Borit SB 130mg Capsule together?
Borit SB 130mg Capsule can be utilized effectively by the body when there's sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications for heartburn, indigestion, or stomach ulcers work by neutralizing the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or similar medications around 2 hours after taking Borit SB 130mg Capsule. If you're taking antacid medication (stomach acid inhibitors), take Borit SB 130mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Borit SB 130mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body mutate, making the medication ineffective. This is known as drug resistance. Resistance to Borit SB 130mg Capsule has been reported with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). It's essential to note that you should not use Borit SB 130mg Capsule for infections caused by these specific species. Completing the entire course of the medication helps prevent drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Borit SB 130mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Borit SB 130mg Capsule together. However, it's crucial to watch out for potential side effects of Alprazolam like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these side effects appear after taking Borit SB 130mg Capsule, talk to your doctor who can adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Borit SB 130mg 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 Borit SB 130mg Capsule to your friend because the medication may interfere with dofetilide's function, potentially leading to altered electrical activity in the heart which might be harmful.
