Frequently asked questions
What is Igforce 100mg Capsule used for?
Igforce 100mg Capsule is indicated for treating fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. The infections may be ringworm, foot infection, or groin/buttock infection. This medicine is also used to treat persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, as well as candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also utilized in the treatment of cryptococcal infection and histoplasmosis, aspergillosis, and blastomycosis.
How long do I need to take Igforce 100mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of the infection, as well as your response to treatment. For example, if you are treating athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may need to be taken for 30 days. On the other hand, if you have candidiasis (yeast) infection of the vagina, the duration could range from one day to three days depending on your doctor’s prescribed dosage.
I am taking Igforce 100mg Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Igforce 100mg Capsule without completing the entire course as stopping the medication before completion might lead to incomplete treatment and potential recurrence of fungal infection.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring your liver's function as Igforce 100mg Capsule may cause serious liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Igforce 100mg Capsule, immediately inform your doctor.
Can I take antacid and Igforce 100mg Capsule together?
Igforce 100mg Capsule can be utilized by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications for ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, you should take antacids or similar medications about two hours after taking Igforce 100mg Capsule. In case of taking antacid (medications that stop the production of stomach acid), consume Igforce 100mg capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Igforce 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance happens when the fungi in your body change their structure and become resistant to medication. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Igforce 100mg Capsule has been reported with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Therefore, it's not recommended to use this medication for infections caused by these species. Always complete the full course of Igforce 100mg Capsule to prevent drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Igforce 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Igforce 100mg Capsule together. However, be aware of the side effects associated with Alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any side effects occur after taking Igforce 100mg Capsule, consult your doctor, who might adjust Alprazolam's dosage.
My doctor prescribed Igforce 100mg Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection. Why is that?
Your doctor did not prescribe Igforce 100mg Capsule for your friend because it interferes with the function of dofetilide. This interference could cause disturbances in heart's electrical activity, which may be harmful to the patient.
