Frequently asked questions
What is Itabris 200mg Tablet used for?
Itabris 200mg Tablet is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It can be used to address ringworm infection, foot infections, or groin and buttocks infections. Additionally, it treats persistent fingernail and toenail fungal infections, as well as persistent candidiasis (yeast) infections in the vagina, mouth, or throat, for patients with reduced immune function.
How long do I need to take Itabris 200mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and location of the infection and your response to therapy. For instance, if you're taking Itabris 200mg for athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose might need to be taken for 30 days. However, treatment for candidiasis in the vagina may span from one day to three days, depending on the dosage recommended by your doctor.
I am taking Itabris 200mg Tablet for nail infection but there is no improvement. Should I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itabris 200mg Tablet without finishing the entire course because stopping early may not completely cure the fungal infection. It often takes six to nine months for nail lesions to disappear, as new nails can take several months to grow after medication eliminates the fungus. Don't worry if you don't notice any improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may be checking for liver function because Itabris 200mg Tablet can cause liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itabris 200mg Tablet, immediately inform your doctor.
Can I take antacid and Itabris 200mg Tablet together?
Itabris 200mg Tablet can be taken when sufficient acid is present in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralise the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, you should take antacids or such medications two hours after taking Itabris 200mg Tablet and it's advisable to take Itabris 200mg Tablet capsules with a glass of cola.
What is drug resistance and can it occur while taking Itabris 200mg Tablet?
Drug resistance happens when fungi get modified in your body, meaning the medicine no longer works. It has been reported that some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis) have developed drug resistance to Itabris 200mg Tablet. If you are using Itabris 200mg for a fungal infection caused by these species, it's not recommended. You should complete your course of medication to avoid this.
I have been taking alprazolam for a long time. Is it safe to take Itabris 200mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can safely combine alprazolam and Itabris 200mg Tablet as they are used in different therapeutic areas. However, be mindful of the side effects associated with alprazolam, such as dizziness or drowsiness. If you notice any side effects after taking Itabris 200mg Tablet, consult your doctor for dosage adjustments.
My doctor prescribed Itabris 200mg Tablet to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is that the case?
Your doctor did not prescribe Itabris 200mg Tablet to your friend because it interacts with dofetilide. This interaction can cause disturbances in the heart's electrical activity, which could be harmful to her.
