Frequently asked questions
What is Indizole 100mg Capsule used for?
Indizole 100mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This treatment may be needed for ringworm infection, foot infections, or groin/buttocks infections. It can also treat persistent nail and toenail fungus, as well as candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with reduced disease resistance. Finally, it is used to treat cryptococcal infections and those caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
How long should I take Indizole 100mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment will vary depending on the type and location of the infection. For example, if treating athlete's foot (a fungal infection in the skin of the feet), the dose may need to be taken for 30 days, while a candidiasis (yeast) infection of the vagina might span from one day to three days depending on the doctor's dosage recommendation.
I am taking Indizole 100mg Capsule for nail fungus but I don't see improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must not stop taking Indizole 100mg Capsule without completing the full course as this may worsen the fungal infection and delay complete eradication of the fungi that cause the infection. It typically takes around six to nine months for nail lesions to completely disappear, as new nails grow over time after the medicine eliminates existing fungus. Don't worry if you don't notice immediate improvement during treatment.
Why have my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely trying to monitor your liver’s health. Indizole 100mg Capsule can potentially cause serious liver damage, so if you experience symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking this medication, please inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Indizole 100mg Capsule together?
Indizole 100mg Capsule can be taken by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications for heartburn, stomach ulcers, or indigestion neutralize stomach acid. Therefore, take antacids (medications that stop the production of stomach acid) about two hours after taking Indizole 100mg Capsule. You may also combine Indizole 100mg Capsule with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Indizole 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance can occur when fungal strains in your body change and the medicine no longer works. This is often seen with Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). For those resistant cases, do not use Indizole 100mg Capsule to treat infections caused by these species. It's important to follow your prescribed treatment for complete eradication of fungal infections.
I have been on alprazolam for a long time. Is it okay if I start Indizole 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Indizole 100mg Capsule together as they are generally considered safe to use in combination. However, keep an eye out for potential side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness from the alprazolam treatment, especially while on Indizole 100mg Capsule. If you experience any adverse reactions after taking both medications, discuss with your doctor who will adjust the dosage of Alprazolam accordingly.
My doctor prescribed Indizole 100mg Capsule to me, but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection. Why is this so?
Your doctor did not prescribe Indizole 100mg Capsule for your friend because it may interfere with dofetilide's effectiveness. This interference can potentially disrupt the heart's electrical activity, which could be harmful to patients.
