Frequently asked questions
What is Itracan 100mg Capsule used for?
Itracan 100mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It is effective in treating ringworm infection, infection of the feet, or infection in the groin and buttocks. Additionally, it is used to treat persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth, and infections caused by Histoplasma, aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itracan 100mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Itracan 100mg Capsule depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Itracan 100mg Capsule for athlete's foot, the dose may need to be taken for 30 days, whereas for candidal infection of the vagina, the dose may span from 1 day to 3 days, depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
I am taking Itracan 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 Itracan 100mg Capsule without completing the entire course, as this may not completely cure the fungal infection. It typically takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear, as the new nail growth takes several months to occur. Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during the treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring your liver function, as Itracan 100mg Capsule may cause serious liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itracan 100mg Capsule, you should inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itracan 100mg Capsule together?
Itracan 100mg Capsule can be utilized by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. To ensure this, take antacids or similar medicines about 2 hours after taking Itracan 100mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids that stop the production of stomach acid, take Itracan 100mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itracan 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body adapt and the medicine no longer works. Resistance to Itracan 100mg Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Itracan 100mg Capsule should not be used for infections caused by these species. Take the complete course of Itracan 100mg Capsule to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itracan 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itracan 100mg Capsule together, but be aware of the potential side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Itracan 100mg Capsule, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itracan 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 Itracan 100mg Capsule to your friend because Itracan 100mg Capsule interferes with the working of dofetilide, which can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, potentially harming the patient.
