I am taking Itixo SB 130mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itixo SB 130mg Capsule without completing the entire course of treatment. Fungal infections can be challenging to treat, and stopping the medication prematurely may not completely eliminate the infection. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully cleared. It may take several months for the nail lesions to disappear as the new nail grows.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor has likely requested blood tests to monitor your liver function. Itixo SB 130mg Capsule may cause serious liver damage, and regular blood tests can help detect any potential liver problems early on. If you experience any symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itixo SB 130mg Capsule, you should inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itixo SB 130mg Capsule together?
Itixo SB 130mg Capsule requires sufficient acid in the stomach to be effective. Antacids and other stomach acid-reducing medications can neutralize stomach acid, which may affect the absorption of Itixo SB 130mg Capsule. To minimize this effect, take antacids or stomach acid-reducing medications at least 2 hours after taking Itixo SB 130mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids that stop the production of stomach acid, take Itixo SB 130mg Capsule with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itixo SB 130mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body adapt and become less responsive to the medication. This can happen with Itixo SB 130mg Capsule, particularly with certain candida species such as krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis. To avoid developing resistance, it is essential to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor.
