Frequently asked questions
What is Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule used for?
Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can be ringworm, foot infection, or groin and buttocks infection. It also treats persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, as well as persistent candidiasis (yeast) infections in the vagina, 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 SB 65 Capsule?
The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type and site of infection and your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule 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, while for a candidiasis vaginal infection, the dosage may span from 1 day to 3 days depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
I am taking Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule 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 SB 65 Capsule 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, new nail growth takes several months. Don't worry if you don't see any improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is probably monitoring your liver's functioning. Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule may cause serious liver damage, so if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule, please inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule together?
Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule can be taken 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 SB 65 Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Funzi IT SB 65 Capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule?
Sometimes, fungi in your body can get modified and the medicine no longer works. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule should not be used for infection caused due to these species. Take the complete course of Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule together, but be mindful of the side effects of Alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule, discuss this with your doctor who will modify the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Funzi IT SB 65 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 Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule to your friend because Funzi IT SB 65 Capsule interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity in the heart, which can be harmful to the patient.
