Frequently asked questions
What is Go Itra used for?
Go Itra 100mg Capsule is used to treat various fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes ringworm infection, infection of the feet or groin and buttocks, as well as persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also used to treat cryptococcal infections and infections caused by Histoplasma, aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
How long do I need to take Go Itra?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. For example, for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may be taken for 30 days, while for candidal infection of the vagina, the dose may last from 1 day to 3 days depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
Can I stop taking Go Itra if I don't see any improvement in my nail infection?
No, you should not stop taking Go Itra 100mg 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, 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. Go Itra 100mg Capsule may cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Go Itra 100mg Capsule, you should tell your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Go Itra together?
Go Itra 100mg Capsule 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 Go Itra 100mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Go Itra 100mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Go Itra?
Sometimes it happens that the fungi get modified in your body and the medicine no longer works. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Go Itra has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Go Itra should not be used for infection caused due to these species. Take the complete course of Go Itra to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Go Itra now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Go Itra together, but keep a watch on the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Go Itra, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Go Itra 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 Go Itra to your friend because Go Itra interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful to the patient.
