Frequently asked questions
What is Itracure 200mg Tablet used for?
Itracure 200mg Tablet is prescribed for treating fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes ringworm, infections of the feet, or infections in the groin and buttocks. It's also used to treat persistent fingernail and toenail fungal infections, as well as persistent Candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance.
For how long do I need to take Itracure 200mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and location of the infection, as well as your response to the medication. For example, if you're treating athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), it may require 30 days of treatment. However, for candidal infections of the vagina, the duration can be anywhere from 1 day to 3 days, depending on your doctor's prescription.
I am taking Itracure 200mg Tablet for a nail infection but there seems to be no improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must not discontinue Itracure 200mg Tablet without completing the full course of treatment as this may not completely eradicate the fungal infection. Nail lesions often take around 6-9 months to clear because, after medication eliminates the fungus, the new nail takes several months to grow. Do not worry if you don’t see improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may be monitoring your liver function as Itracure 200mg Tablet can cause serious liver damage. If you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itracure 200mg Tablet, immediately inform your doctor.
Can I take antacid and Itracure 200mg Tablet together?
Itracurre 200mg Tablet can be utilized by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or any such medication approximately two hours after taking Itracure 200mg Tablet. If you're taking antacids, take Itracurre 200mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itracure 200mg Tablet?
Drug resistance sometimes occurs when fungi adapt within the body, and the medication no longer works. This can be observed as a consequence of modifications in fungal structures. Resistance to Itracurre 200mg Tablet has been reported with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis), therefore, Itracure 200mg Tablet should not be used for infections caused by these species. Follow the prescribed course of Itracurre 200mg Tablet to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itracure 200mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can take both alprazolam and Itracure 200mg Tablet together; however, be mindful of any side effects associated with alprazolam, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these side effects appear after taking Itracurre 200mg Tablet, consult your doctor who will adjust your alprazolam dosage.
My doctor prescribed Itracure 200mg Tablet 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 Itracure 200mg Tablet to your friend because Itracurre 200mg Tablet interferes with the function of dofetilide. This interference can lead to disturbed electrical activity in the heart, which may be harmful to the patient.
