Frequently asked questions
What is Itragen SB 50mg Capsule used for?
Itragen SB 50mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It is effective in treating ringworm infection, infection of the feet, or infection in the groin and buttocks. Additionally, it treats persistent infection of fingernails and toenails, persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth, and infections caused by Histoplasma, aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itragen SB 50mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Itragen SB 50mg Capsule depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Itragen SB 50mg Capsule for athlete's foot, the dose may need to be taken for 30 days. In contrast, if you are taking it for candidal infection of the vagina, the dose may span from 1 day to 3 days, depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
I am taking Itragen SB 50mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itragen SB 50mg Capsule without completing the entire course of treatment. Fungal infections can be challenging to treat, and stopping the medication prematurely may not completely cure the infection. It is essential to complete the full treatment course to ensure that the infection is fully cleared. Additionally, it may take several months for the nail lesions to fully clear up as the new nail grows.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor has likely requested blood tests to monitor your liver function. Itragen SB 50mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage, and regular blood tests can help identify any potential issues early on. If you experience any symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itragen SB 50mg Capsule, you should inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itragen SB 50mg Capsule together?
Itragen SB 50mg Capsule requires sufficient stomach acid to be effective. Antacids, which neutralize stomach acid, can interfere with the absorption of Itragen SB 50mg Capsule. To minimize this interaction, take antacids or other stomach acid-reducing medications at least 2 hours after taking Itragen SB 50mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids that stop the production of stomach acid, take Itragen SB 50mg Capsule with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itragen SB 50mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body adapt and become less responsive to the medication. This can happen with Itragen SB 50mg Capsule, particularly with certain species of candida. To avoid developing resistance, it is essential to take the complete course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor. If you have any concerns or questions, consult with your doctor.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itragen SB 50mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itragen SB 50mg Capsule together, but monitor your body for any side effects, particularly drowsiness or lightheadedness. If you experience any adverse effects, consult with your doctor, who may adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itragen SB 50mg 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 Itragen SB 50mg Capsule to your friend because it can interact with dofetilide, which can cause abnormal heart rhythms. This interaction can be harmful, so it is essential to avoid taking Itragen SB 50mg Capsule with dofetilide. If you have any questions or concerns, consult with your doctor.
