How long do I need to take Coniderm 200mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and location of the infection, as well as your response to the medication. For instance, for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), it may be taken for 30 days. However, treatment for vaginal candidiasis might span from 1 day to 3 days depending on the doctor's instructions.
I am taking Coniderm 200mg Capsule for a nail infection but haven't seen any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must not stop taking Coniderm 200mg Capsule without completing the full course. This is because discontinuing treatment prematurely may not completely eliminate the fungal infection. It typically takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to clear due to the fact that after the medication eliminates the fungus, new nail growth can take several months. Keep in mind that it's normal if you don't see an improvement during treatment.
Why did my doctor ask me to have blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely testing your liver function as a precaution. Coniderm 200mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage, and if you experience any concerning symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking it, notify your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid with Coniderm 200mg Capsule together?
Coniderm 200mg Capsule can be taken by the body when there is adequate stomach acid. Medicines for treating ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize stomach acid.

Resistance to Coniderm 200mg Capsule has been reported in some Candida species like Krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis.
