For example, if you are using Curaspor 100mg Tablet for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may require 30 days.

I am taking Curaspor 100mg Tablet for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement, can I stop taking it?

Can I take antacid and Curaspor 100mg Tablet together?
Curaspor 100mg Tablet can be taken by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications for heartburn, indigestion, or ulcers neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, you should take antacids or such medications approximately 2 hours after taking Curaspor 100mg Tablet. If you are using antacid medication (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Curaspor 100mg tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Curaspor 100mg Tablet?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body change, making the medication ineffective. This is known as drug resistance. Resistance has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Curaspor 100mg Tablet should not be used for infections caused by these species. Always take the entire course of Curaspor 100mg Tablet to avoid resistance.

Yes, you can take both alprazolam and Curaspor 100mg Tablet together, but monitor for side effects like lightheadedness or drowsiness, such as dizziness or fatigue. If these side effects occur after taking Curaspor 100mg Tablet, inform your doctor who will adjust the dosage of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Curaspor 100mg Tablet 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 Curaspor 100mg Tablet to your friend because Curaspor 100mg Tablet interferes with the working of dofetilide, which can cause disturbances in heart electrical activity. This interference may be harmful to the patient.
