Frequently asked questions
Can Erbinox Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral administration of Erbinox Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Before initiating therapy, a liver function test should be performed to assess hepatic function. This is because the medication is metabolized by liver enzymes and any impairment in liver function can lead to increased drug levels in blood, potentially increasing side effects and toxicity. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you have a history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, provide a list of all medications you are currently taking as concurrent use with Erbinox Tablet may increase the risk of liver toxicity, and its interaction with liver enzymes can alter the levels of other drugs. Your doctor may consider periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) to assess liver function and adjust dosage accordingly.
Does Erbinox Tablet cause any skin reactions?
Yes, some individuals might experience skin reactions while using Erbinox Tablet. Rare cases have been reported of severe skin/hypersensitivity reactions, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other serious allergic reactions. Please consult with your physician before taking this medication. If you notice any type of skin reaction or rash, discontinue the medication immediately and notify your doctor.
Is Erbinox Tablet effective?
Erbinox Tablet is effective as an antifungal agent when used according to your doctor's instructions. Do not stop taking it even if you experience improvement in your condition. Stopping treatment too early may allow the fungus to continue growing, potentially leading to infection recurrence or worsening.
How long do I need to take Erbinox Tablet?
The typical duration of treatment for Tinea pedis (athlete's foot), Tinea corporis (ringworm), and Tinea cruris (jock itch) is approximately 2 to 4 weeks. However, this may be extended up to 6 weeks in some cases. For nail fungal infections, the duration can vary from 6 to 12 weeks. For fingernail fungal infections, treatment might last for around 6 weeks, while toenail fungal infections might require a treatment duration of 12 weeks. The specific duration of therapy is determined by your doctor based on factors like the type and location of the infection, along with your response to treatment.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Erbinox Tablet?
Consumption of caffeinated beverages like tea and coffee should be carefully monitored while on Erbinox Tablet. Erbinox Tablet reduces the rate of caffeine metabolism by 19%, which increases the levels of caffeine in the blood. This increased caffeine intake may lead to side effects such as jitteriness, headache, a heightened heartbeat, and restlessness.
