Frequently asked questions
What is Itradila 100mg Capsule used for?
Itradila 100mg Capsule is a medication used to treat various fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes ringworm, athlete's foot, and candidal vaginal or oral infections in patients with compromised immune systems. It also treats persistent nail and skin infections.
For how long do I need to take Itradila 100mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the medication. For example, athlete's foot may require a 30-day course, while candidal vaginal infections may be treated with a single dose or a short course.
I am taking Itradila 100mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should complete the entire treatment course as instructed by your doctor. It may take several months for nail lesions to resolve after the fungal infection is cleared.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may have requested liver function tests while you're taking Itradila 100mg Capsule, as this medication can cause serious liver damage. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain.
Can I take antacid and Itradila 100mg Capsule together?
Yes, but it's recommended to take Itradila 100mg Capsule with a drink of cola if you're taking antacids that neutralize stomach acid. Take the antacids about 2 hours after taking Itradila 100mg Capsule.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itradila 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in your body become modified and the medication no longer works. Resistance to Itradila 100mg Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Complete the full treatment course to minimize the risk of drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itradila 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itradila 100mg Capsule together, but monitor your side effects, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Itradila 100mg Capsule, consult your doctor who will adjust the dose of alprazolam accordingly.
My doctor prescribed Itradila 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 Itradila 100mg Capsule to your friend due to the potential interference of this medication with the working of dofetilide, which can cause abnormal heart electrical activity and harm the patient.
