I am taking Itrabest 100mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itrabest 100mg Capsule without consulting your doctor. Nail fungus can take several months to clear up after treatment with Itrabest 100mg Capsule. Stopping the medication early may lead to incomplete clearance of the fungal infection and potentially cause recurrence.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?

Can I take antacid and Itrabest 100mg Capsule together?

What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrabest 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body adapt and become less responsive to the medication.

My doctor prescribed Itrabest 100mg Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
