Frequently asked questions
What is Borit SB 65mg Capsule used for?
Borit SB 65mg Capsule is indicated for the treatment of fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can include ringworm, infection of the feet or groin/buttocks, persistent nail and toenail infections, as well as candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with low disease resistance. It is also used to treat cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Borit SB 65mg Capsule?
The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type and site of infection and patient response. For example, if you are treating athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), treatment may involve up to 30 days. However, for candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina, treatment duration can range from one day to three days depending on the dosage prescribed by your doctor.
I am taking Borit SB 65mg Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Borit SB 65mg Capsule without completing the entire course as this may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear because after the medicine eliminates the fungus, the new nail needs several months to grow. Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may request blood tests to monitor your liver's functioning. Borit SB 65mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage, and if you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking this medication, it is crucial to inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Borit SB 65mg Capsule together?
Borit SB 65mg Capsule can be utilized by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or any such medicine approximately two hours after taking Borit SB 65mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Borit SB 65mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Borit SB 65mg Capsule?
Drug resistance can occur when fungi change in the body and become resistant to medication. This means the medicine no longer works effectively, known as drug resistance. Drug resistance to Borit SB 65mg Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Borit SB 65mg Capsule should not be used for infections caused by these species. Take the entire course of Borit SB 65mg Capsule to avoid developing drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Borit SB 65mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Borit SB 65mg Capsule together; however, keep a close watch on the side effects of Alprazolam, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any side effects appear after taking Borit SB 65mg Capsule, talk to your doctor who will adjust Alprazolam's dosage.
My doctor prescribed Borit SB 65mg 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 65mg Capsule to your friend because it may interfere with the working of dofetilide, which can cause disturbances in electrical activity within the heart, potentially leading to harm.
