Frequently asked questions
What is IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule used for?
IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It is effective in treating ringworm infection, infection of the feet, or infection in the groin and buttocks. Additionally, it treats persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule is also used to treat cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule for athlete's foot, the dose may need to be taken for 30 days. In contrast, if you are taking it for candidal infection of the vagina, the dose may span from 1 day to 3 days, depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
I am taking IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule without completing the entire course of treatment. This is because stopping the medication too early may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear, as the new nail takes several months to grow after the fungus is eliminated. Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during the treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring your liver function because IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule may cause serious liver damage. If you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule, you should inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule together?
IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule can be utilized by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. However, medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion can neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. To ensure optimal absorption, take antacids or similar medicines about 2 hours after taking IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids that stop the production of stomach acid, take IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body adapt and the medicine no longer works. Resistance to IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule should not be used for infections caused by these species. To avoid drug resistance, take the complete course of IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule as prescribed by your doctor.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule together. However, monitor the side effects of alprazolam, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed IT Mac SB 65mg 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 IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule to your friend because IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful to the patient. Therefore, it is essential to inform your doctor about any medications you are taking before starting IT Mac SB 65mg Capsule.
