For how long do I need to take Canditral SB 130 Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Canditral SB 130 Capsule depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and length of treatment for your specific condition.
I am taking Canditral SB 130 Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, it is essential to complete the entire course of Canditral SB 130 Capsule as directed by your doctor, even if you do not see immediate improvement. Fungal infections can take time to clear up, and stopping treatment prematurely may not fully eliminate the infection.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may have ordered blood tests to monitor your liver function, as Canditral SB 130 Capsule can cause serious liver damage. If you experience any symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Canditral SB 130 Capsule together?
Canditral SB 130 Capsule requires sufficient stomach acid to be effective. If you take antacids or other medications that neutralize stomach acid, take Canditral SB 130 Capsule with a drink of cola or wait for at least 2 hours after taking the antacid.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Canditral SB 130 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body adapt and become less responsive to the medication. Resistance to Canditral SB 130 Capsule has been reported with some candida species. To avoid developing resistance, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment as directed by your doctor.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Canditral SB 130 Capsule now?
You can take both Alprazolam and Canditral SB 130 Capsule together, but monitor for side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any side effects, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dose of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Canditral SB 130 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 Canditral SB 130 Capsule to your friend because it can interact with dofetilide, potentially causing disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful. It is essential to inform your doctor about all medications you are taking before starting Canditral SB 130 Capsule.
