Frequently asked questions
What is Itlus 100mg Capsule used for?
Itlus 100mg Capsule is indicated for the treatment of fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes ringworm, infection of the feet, groin, and buttocks. It can also be used to treat persistent infections of the fingernails and toenails and those of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance. Additionally, Itlus 100mg Capsule is prescribed for the treatment of cryptococcal infection and fungal infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itlus 100mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Itlus 100mg Capsule depends on the type and site of infection as well as your individual response to the treatment. For example, if you are using it for athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the treatment may last up to 30 days. If you are treating candidal infections in the vagina, the duration can range from one day to three days, depending on the dosage prescribed by your doctor.
I am taking Itlus 100mg Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itlus 100mg Capsule without completing the entire course because stopping early might not fully cure the fungal infection. Nail lesions typically take 6-9 months to disappear as even after eliminating the fungus, new nail growth can still occur over several months. If you are experiencing a lack of improvement in your condition during treatment, consult your doctor for advice.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring the function of your liver because Itlus 100mg Capsule may cause serious liver damage. In case you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itlus 100mg Capsule, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itlus 100mg Capsule together?
Itlus 100mg Capsule can be administered effectively when sufficient acid is present in the stomach. Medications intended to treat ulcers, heartburn or indigestion can neutralize stomach acid. Therefore, it is recommended to take antacids or such medications two hours after taking Itlus 100mg Capsule. If you are using antacid medication, consider consuming Itlus 100mg Capsule capsules with a cola drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itlus 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi become modified in your body, rendering the medication ineffective. In some cases, fungal species like Candida krusei, Candida glabrata, and Candida tropicalis can lead to resistance to Itlus 100mg Capsule. It is crucial to avoid using Itlus 100mg Capsule for infections caused by these species. The complete treatment course helps prevent this resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itlus 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itlus 100mg Capsule together, but keep an eye out for side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness from the alprazolam. If any side effects appear after taking Itlus 100mg Capsule, consult your doctor who might adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itlus 100mg 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 Itlus 100mg Capsule to your friend because Itlus 100mg Capsule interferes with the working of dofetilide, which can cause disturbances in heart electrical activity and potentially pose a risk to her health.
