Frequently asked questions
What is Itrafin 100mg Tablet used for?
Itrafin 100mg Tablet is prescribed to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This medication can be effective for ringworm, foot infections, groin, or buttock infections. It also treats persistent nail and toenail infections, as well as persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth.
For how long do I need to take Itrafin 100mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and location of the infection, as well as your individual response to the medication. For example, athlete's foot may require a course lasting up to 30 days. Vaginal candidiasis might be treated for 1-3 days based on doctor's recommendations.
I am taking Itrafin 100mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itrafin 100mg Tablet without completing the entire course. Stopping the medication prematurely might not fully resolve the fungal infection and could prolong the healing process.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may have ordered blood tests to assess your liver function. Itrafin 100mg Tablet can potentially cause liver problems, and monitoring is essential for early detection of any adverse effects.
Can I take antacid and Itrafin 100mg Tablet together?
Itrafin 100mg Tablet can be taken by the body even 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 other similar medications approximately two hours after taking Itrafin 100mg Tablet. If you are taking antacids (medicines that reduce stomach acid production), take Itrafin 100mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrafin 100mg Tablet?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in the body modify themselves, rendering the medication ineffective. Resistance to Itrafin 100mg Tablet has been reported with certain candida species ( krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). It is crucial to adhere to the full course of treatment for this medication to prevent drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrafin 100mg Tablet now?
Yes, Itrafin 100mg Tablet can be taken with alprazolam; however, observe any side effects of the medication like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these side effects occur after taking Itrafin 100mg Tablet, consult your doctor who will adjust the dosage of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itrafin 100mg 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 Itrafin 100mg Tablet for your friend due to its interaction with dofetilide, which can cause problems with the heart's electrical activity.
