Frequently asked questions
What is Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR used for?
Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. The infections can be ringworm, infection of the feet, or infection in the groin and buttocks. This medicine also treats persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, as well as persistent candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina or candida (yeast) infections of the mouth or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also used in the treatment of cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR?
The dose and length of treatment depend on the type and site of infection and your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR for athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may need to be taken for 30 days, whereas if you are taking it for candidal infection of the vagina, the dose may span from 1 day to 3 days depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
I am taking Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR without completing the entire course because doing so 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 takes several months to grow. Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during the treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is probably trying to monitor your liver's functioning. Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR may cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR, you should tell your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR together?
Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR 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 about 2 hours after taking Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR?
Sometimes it happens that the fungi get modified in your body and the medicine no longer works. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR should not be used for infection caused due to these species. Take the complete course of Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR now?
Your doctor prescribed Funzi-IT 400mg Tablet SR to you, not your friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful to the patient.
