Frequently asked questions
What is Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule used for?
Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It can be used for ringworm infection, foot infections, or groin and buttocks infections. Additionally, it treats persistent fungal infections of the fingernails and toenails, and persistent candidiasis (yeast) infections in the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also used to treat cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
How long do I need to take Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection and the patient's response. For example, if you are using Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule for athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dosage may need to be taken for 30 days, while for candidiasis in the vagina, the duration could span from one day to three days depending on the prescribed dose by your doctor.
I am taking Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule for a nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as after eliminating the fungus, new nails take several months to grow. Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring your liver function. Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage, so if you develop signs of liver dysfunction like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule, please inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacids and Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule together?
Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule can be used by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications for heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced in the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or any such medication about two hours after taking Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule. If you are taking antacid (medication that reduces acid production), take Iphytoral SB 130mg capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule?
Sometimes, the fungi change in your body and become resistant to treatment. This is known as drug resistance. Resistance to Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule should not be used for infections caused by these species; it must be avoided.
I have been taking alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule together, however, keep an eye out for any side effects of alprazolam like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any side effects appear after taking Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule, consult your doctor who may modify the dosage of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Iphytoral SB 130mg 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 Iphytoral SB 130mg Capsule to your friend because it interacts with dofetilide, potentially leading to disturbances in the heart's electrical activity which may be harmful to the patient.
