Frequently asked questions
What is Itrafem SB used for?
Itrafem SB is an antifungal medication used to treat various types of fungal infections, including ringworm, athlete's foot, vaginal yeast infections, and nail fungus. It may also be prescribed for other rare fungal infections such as cryptococcal infection.
For how long do I need to take Itrafem SB?
The duration of treatment with Itrafem SB depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your individual response to the medication. Treatment may be needed for 30 days or more, and in some cases, a shorter course may be prescribed.
I am taking Itrafem SB but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itrafem SB without completing the entire course of treatment because stopping too soon may not completely cure the fungal infection. It typically takes several months for nail lesions to clear up.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is monitoring your liver function as Itrafem SB can cause serious liver damage. If you experience any symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itrafem SB together?
Take Itrafem SB at least 2 hours before or after taking antacids to ensure proper absorption. If you need to take an antacid, consider taking Itrafem SB with a carbonated beverage like cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrafem SB?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi adapt and become resistant to the medication, rendering it less effective. Resistance to Itrafem SB has been reported for certain species of candida. Complete the full course of treatment to minimize the risk of developing drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrafem SB now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itrafem SB together. However, be aware that side effects like drowsiness may occur. If any side effects appear after taking Itrafem SB, consult your doctor for dose adjustment.
My doctor prescribed Itrafem SB 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 Itrafem SB to your friend because the medication can interfere with dofetilide, potentially causing irregular heart rhythms.
