Frequently asked questions
What is Itraforce 100mg Capsule used for?
Itraforce 100mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can cause ringworm, foot infection, groin and buttocks infections, persistent infections of the fingernails and toenails, yeast infections in the vagina, mouth or throat, and cryptococcal infection. Itraforce 100mg Capsule is also used for Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces infections.
For how long do I need to take Itraforce 100mg Capsule?
The dose and duration of treatment depend on the type and site of infection, and your response to the treatment. For athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may be taken for 30 days. However, if you are taking it for candidal infection of the vagina, the duration might range from 1 day to 3 days depending on the prescribed dosage by your doctor.
I am taking Itraforce 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 Itraforce 100mg Capsule without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as the new nail grows over time. Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may be monitoring your liver's functioning, as Itraforce 100mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage. If you experience any symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking itraforce 100mg Capsule, please tell your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itraforce 100mg Capsule together?
Itraforce 100mg Capsule 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 medicine about 2 hours after taking Itraforce 100mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Itraforce 100mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itraforce 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in your body modify themselves, making the medicine no longer work. This can happen with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Therefore, if you are experiencing a fungal infection, make sure to use Itraforce 100mg Capsule for infections caused by these species. If you continue using medication that does not work or does not help, this can lead to drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itraforce 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itraforce 100mg Capsule together, but be mindful of potential side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any side effects appear after taking Itraforce 100mg Capsule, talk to your doctor who may adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itraforce 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 Itraforce 100mg Capsule to your friend because Itraforce 100mg Capsule can interfere with the working of dofetilide, which could potentially disrupt heart electrical activity and cause harm.
