Frequently asked questions
What is Hitzole 100mg Capsule used for?
Hitzole 100mg Capsule is an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes ringworm, foot and groin infections, persistent nail fungus, candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lowered immune systems, and cryptococcal infection.
For how long do I need to take Hitzole 100mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection. For example, athlete's foot (fungal skin infection) may require a 30-day treatment course, while candidal vaginal infections might be treated for 1-3 days based on the dosage prescribed by your doctor.
I am taking Hitzole 100mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Hitzole 100mg Capsule without completing the entire treatment course because it may not fully cure the fungal infection. It usually takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as the new nail grows after the fungus is eliminated.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor likely wants to monitor your liver's functioning because Hitzole 100mg Capsule may cause serious liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Hitzole 100mg Capsule together?
Yes, but take antacids about 2 hours after taking Hitzole 100mg Capsule. If you're taking medicines that stop stomach acid production, take Hitzole 100mg Capsule with a cola drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Hitzole 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in your body become modified and the medication no longer works. Resistance to Hitzole 100mg Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Do not use Hitzole 100mg Capsule for infections caused by these species.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Hitzole 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Hitzole 100mg Capsule together, but monitor the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Hitzole 100mg Capsule, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Hitzole 100mg 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 Hitzole 100mg Capsule to your friend because Hitzole 100mg Capsule interferes with the working of dofetilide, which can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart and be harmful to the patient.
