Frequently asked questions
What is IT San 200mg Tablet used for?
IT San 200mg Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat various fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can affect the skin, nails, and other body areas such as feet or groin/buttocks. This medicine may also be prescribed for persistent candida (yeast) infections in specific areas like the vagina, mouth, or throat in individuals with lower disease resistance.
For how long do I need to take IT San 200mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment for IT San 200mg Tablet varies depending on the specific type and location of the fungal infection, as well as your response to the medication. For example, treating athlete's foot may require a course lasting 30 days, while persistent vaginal candidiasis might span from 1 day to 3 days, determined by the doctor's advice.
I am taking IT San 200mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must complete the entire course of IT San 200mg Tablet as stopping early may not fully cure the fungal infection. Nail lesions often take several months to clear due to new nail growth. It's important to understand that treatment is vital for clearing the infection completely.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may have ordered blood tests to monitor your liver function while you're on IT San 200mg Tablet. This medication can potentially cause serious liver damage, and if you experience symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and IT San 200mg Tablet together?
IT San 200mg Tablet can be taken with antacids when necessary. This is because the medication's impact on stomach acid is minimized if there's sufficient acid in the stomach, and the use of antacids for gastric issues neutralizes the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, it's recommended to take antacids or similar medicines about two hours after taking IT San 200mg Tablet, but with water.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to IT San 200mg Tablet?
Drug resistance can occur when the fungi in your body mutate and make the medication ineffective. This condition means the treatment no longer works as intended, so it's vital to complete the prescribed course. Resistance has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis), but IT San 200mg Tablet should not be used for these specific infections.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start IT San 200mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can safely take both Alprazolam and IT San 200mg Tablet together, as long as you monitor any side effects like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these side effects appear after taking IT San 200mg Tablet, discuss the situation with your doctor who may adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed IT San 200mg Tablet to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
Your doctor didn't prescribe IT San 200mg Tablet for your friend due to a potential interaction with dofetilide, which can interfere with the heart's electrical activity and potentially cause harm.
