Frequently asked questions
What is Itra 200mg Capsule used for?
Itra 200mg Capsule is prescribed to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These include ringworm, foot infections, groin and buttocks infections. It can also be used to treat persistent nail fungal infections, candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with reduced immune function. The medication is effective against cryptococcal infection and various other infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itra 200mg Capsule?
The length of treatment depends on the type and location of the fungal infection, your response to medication, and individual patient factors. For example, if you are treating athlete's foot, the dosage may be taken for up to 30 days. However, candidal infections in the vagina may need treatment from 1 day to 3 days depending on your doctor's guidance.
I am taking Itra 200mg Capsule for a nail infection but there is no improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itra 200mg Capsule without completing the entire course because doing so may not fully cure fungal infection and allow it to return. Complete treatment can take 6-9 months, as new nail growth takes time for completion.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor might be monitoring your liver function. Itra 200mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itra 200mg Capsule, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacids and Itra 200mg Capsule together?
Itra 200mg Capsule can be taken with an acidic drink such as cola if necessary. Antacid medication should be taken approximately two hours after administration of the Itra 200mg Capsule.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itra 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance can occur when fungal cells mutate, rendering the medication ineffective. This can happen with certain candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). If resistance occurs, Itra 200mg Capsule should not be used for infection caused by these species. Always complete your prescribed course to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Itra 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both alprazolam and Itra 200mg Capsule together, but monitor for any side effects like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If such side effects appear after taking Itra 200mg Capsule, discuss it with your doctor who may adjust the dosage of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itra 200mg Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is this?
Your doctor did not prescribe Itra 200mg Capsule for your friend due to the potential interaction with dofetilide. This medication interferes with dofetilide's electrical activity, which could lead to dangerous heart complications.
