Frequently asked questions
What is Glowid 100mg Tablet used for?
Glowid 100mg Tablet is an antifungal medication prescribed for treating fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It is also effective in cases of persistent Candida (yeast) infections affecting the vagina, mouth, or throat, particularly in individuals with lower immune resistance.
For how long do I need to take Glowid 100mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment with Glowid 100mg Tablet depends on the type and location of the infection, individual response to treatment, and any underlying conditions. For example, it may be taken for up to 30 days for athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), but duration can vary based on the specific condition.
I am taking Glowid 100mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, stopping treatment without completing the entire course is strongly advised as this could lead to incomplete fungal eradication and potential recurrence. It typically takes 6-9 months for complete clearance of nail lesions as new nails grow after medication eliminates the fungus.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
The blood tests your doctor ordered will assess liver function. Glowid 100mg Tablet can potentially cause serious liver damage. If you experience any symptoms of liver distress, such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain, immediately inform your healthcare provider.
Can I take antacid and Glowid 100mg Tablet together?
Glowid 100mg Tablet can be administered as usual if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications for heartburn, indigestion or stomach ulcers are generally taken before or after Glowid 100mg Tablets with a glass of cola for optimal absorption.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Glowid 100mg Tablet?
Drug resistance refers to the potential for fungi to mutate and adapt, making the medication ineffective. Resistance to Glowid 100mg Tablet has been reported in some Candida species such as krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis. It is important to only use Glowid 100mg Tablet when there are no known cases of resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Glowid 100mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Glowid 100mg Tablet together under the guidance of your healthcare provider, but keep in mind that they could interact with each other. Your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or monitor any possible side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. Always communicate with your doctor for adjustments.
My doctor prescribed Glowid 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 Glowid 100mg Tablet to your friend due to the potential for drug interactions with dofetilide. This interference can affect heart rhythm, and therefore your doctor would need to make a decision based on individual factors.
