Frequently asked questions
What is IT Zoe 100mg Tablet used for?
IT Zoe 100mg Tablet is a medication specifically designed for treating fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can present as ringworm, foot infections, groin or buttock infections, persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, persistent yeast infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance. IT Zoe 100mg Tablet is also used for the treatment of cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take IT Zoe 100mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific type and location of the fungal infection and your response to the medication. For example, if you're treating athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between toes), treatment might require 30 days. On the other hand, for vaginal candidiasis (yeast infection), treatment may span from 1 day to 3 days based on your doctor's advice.
I am taking IT Zoe 100mg 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 treatment with IT Zoe 100mg Tablet. Stopping before completion may lead to incomplete fungal eradication and may increase the risk of recurrence.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Blood tests are commonly ordered during antifungal treatment, like IT Zoe 100mg Tablet, to assess for potential liver damage. It is crucial to report any changes such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain if you're experiencing these symptoms.
Can I take antacids and IT Zoe 100mg Tablet together?
IT Zoe 100mg Tablet can be effectively used in individuals with sufficient acid levels in the stomach. Antacids or any medications for heartburn or indigestion neutralize stomach acid. Take antacid or similar medication about two hours after taking IT Zoe 100mg Tablet. If you're taking an antacid, consume IT Zoe 100mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to IT Zoe 100mg Tablet?
Drug resistance can occur when the fungi modify in your body, making the medication ineffective. This has been reported for some candida species such as krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis. Therefore, if you are dealing with an infection caused by these species, IT Zoe 100mg Tablet should not be used.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start IT Zoe 100mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and IT Zoe 100mg Tablet together, however, monitor your side effects like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any adverse reactions occur after taking IT Zoe 100mg Tablet, talk to your doctor, who may adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed IT Zoe 100mg 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 Zoe 100mg Tablet to your friend due to potential interference with dofetilide. This drug can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which may be harmful in some patients.
