Frequently asked questions
What is Itnox 200 Capsule used for?
Itnox 200 Capsule is prescribed for the treatment of fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes ringworm, foot infections, groin/buttocks infections, persistent nail or toenail infections, and candida (yeast) infections in the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with reduced immunity.
How long do I need to take Itnox 200 Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and location of the infection, as well as your response to the medication. For example, treatment for athlete’s foot may require 30 days, while treatment for vaginal candidiasis could span from 1 day to 3 days depending on the dosage recommended by your doctor.
I am experiencing no improvement after taking Itnox 200 Capsule. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itnox 200 Capsule without completing the entire course prescribed by your doctor. Stopping early may not fully eradicate the fungal infection and could lead to potential complications.
Why did my doctor ask me for blood tests?
Your doctor may perform liver function tests to monitor for potential liver damage, as Itnox 200 Capsule can have adverse effects on the liver. If you experience any unusual symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itnox 200 Capsule, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itnox 200 Capsule together?
Itnox 200 Capsule can be taken when the stomach has sufficient acid. Medications used to treat stomach ulcers or heartburn, by neutralizing stomach acid, should be taken with at least two hours of Itnox 200 Capsule.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itnox 200 Capsule?
Drug resistance refers to the ability of fungi to change in their structure, rendering the medicine ineffective. Resistance to Itnox 200 Capsule has been reported for certain Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). It is important to continue the full course of Itnox 200 Capsule to prevent and manage drug resistance.
I have been taking alprazolam for a long time. Can I start Itnox 200 Capsule now?
It is generally safe to take both alprazolam and Itnox 200 Capsule together. However, observe for any side effects of alprazolam like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If such side effects occur after taking Itnox 200 Capsule, contact your doctor who will adjust the dosage of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itnox 200 Capsule but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
Your doctor may have opted to not prescribe Itnox 200 Capsule for your friend due to its interaction with dofetilide, an antiarrhythmic medication that can cause disturbances in the heart's electrical activity if used concurrently.
