Frequently asked questions
What is Goitra 100mg Tablet used for?
Goitra 100mg Tablet is a prescribed medication for treating various fungal infections. It is specifically formulated for conditions caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum, commonly referred to as ringworm or other skin-related fungal infections. It can also be used to treat chronic fungal infections like those affecting fingernails or toenails, or persistent yeast infections in the vagina or mouth.
For how long do I need to take Goitra 100mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment with Goitra 100mg Tablet depends on the specific type and location of the infection, as well as your individual response to the medication. It's essential to adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage by your doctor. For example, athlete’s foot might require a 30-day course, while persistent vaginal yeast infections could range from one day to three days based on prescribed dosage.
I am taking Goitra 100mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must complete the entire course of Goitra 100mg Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. This is because prematurely stopping treatment might lead to incomplete fungal elimination and potentially a recurrence or resistance development.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may request blood tests to monitor for liver function abnormalities. Goitra 100mg Tablet can cause potential liver damage, so it is crucial to report any unusual symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain to your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Goitra 100mg Tablet together?
Goitra 100mg Tablet can be effectively used by the body if there is a sufficient amount of acid in the stomach. Medications for heartburn, or indigestion neutralize stomach acid, therefore you should take antacids or similar medications about two hours after taking Goitra 100mg Tablet. You might also consider having Goitra 100mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Goitra 100mg Tablet?
Drug resistance occurs when fungal organisms adapt and modify themselves, rendering the medication ineffective. This can happen in some cases where candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis) have developed resistance against traditional antifungal medications like Goitra 100mg Tablet. It is crucial to continue the prescribed course of Goitra 100mg Tablet to avoid developing drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Goitra 100mg Tablet now?
You can safely take both Alprazolam and Goitra 100mg Tablet together, however, monitor for any potential side effects from the combination of these medications like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any side effects after starting Goitra 100mg Tablet, consult your doctor who may adjust your dosage for Alprazolam accordingly.
My doctor prescribed Goitra 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 may have considered several factors when prescribing Goitra 100mg Tablet, including the presence of known drug interactions. For example, your medication and your friend’s medication (dofetilide) might interfere with each other's functions in the body. It is crucial to discuss any concerns regarding prescription medications with your doctor for proper advice.
