Frequently asked questions
What is I One 200mg Capsule used for?
I One 200mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can affect the skin, including ringworm, foot infections, groin or buttocks infections, fingernails and toenails, and candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It also treats cryptococcal infection and certain fungal infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take I One 200mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection. For example, treatment for athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes) may require up to 30 days. However, for candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina, the dose span can be from 1 day to 3 days based on doctor-recommended dosage.
I am taking I One 200mg Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking I One 200mg Capsule without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear because after the medication eliminates the fungus, new nails grow over several months. If you don't see improvement during treatment, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Blood tests are likely being performed to monitor liver function. I One 200mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage. If you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and I One 200mg Capsule together?
I One 200mg Capsule works best when there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for heartburn or indigestion, such as antacids, can neutralize this acid. Therefore, take antacids about 2 hours after taking I One 200mg Capsules, and consider consuming them with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to I One 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance happens when the fungi in your body change in ways that make the medication no longer effective. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to I One 200mg Capsule has been reported for certain Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Therefore, it's not recommended to use I One 200mg Capsule for infections caused by these species. It's essential to complete the entire course of treatment to prevent drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking I One 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both alprazolam and I One 200mg Capsule together. However, be aware of the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness, and report any symptoms to your doctor who may adjust your medication dosage.
My doctor prescribed I One 200mg 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 I One 200mg Capsule to your friend due to its potential interference with dofetilide, which can cause disrupted electrical activity of the heart. This can be dangerous for patients taking dofetilide.
