Frequently asked questions
What is Itrahit 100mg Tablet used for?
Itrahit 100mg Tablet is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This medicine treats ringworm, skin infection of the feet, or infections in the groin and buttocks. It also treats persistent infections in fingernails and toenails, as well as persistent candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. Itrahit 100mg Tablet is also used for treating cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itrahit 100mg Tablet?
The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type and location of the infection, as well as your response to treatment. For example, if you are treating athlete's foot (fungal skin infection), the dosage may require 30 days. However, for candidiasis in the vagina, the dosage might vary from 1 day to 3 days based on doctor-recommended medication schedule.
I am taking Itrahit 100mg Tablet for a nail infection but there seems to be no improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itrahit 100mg Tablet without completing the entire course. Stopping early might not completely cure the fungal infection. It often takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear because after medication eliminates the fungus, new nail growth may take several months. Do not worry if there is no immediate improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor might be monitoring your liver function as Itrahit 100mg Tablet may potentially cause serious liver damage. If you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itrahit 100mg Tablet, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itrahit 100mg Tablet together?
Itrahit 100mg Tablet can be utilized if the stomach has sufficient acid. Medicines for acid reflux, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or any other similar medication about 2 hours after taking Itrahit 100mg Tablet. If you're on antacid medications (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), it’s best to combine Itrahit 100mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrahit 100mg Tablet?
Sometimes, the fungi can change in your body, making the medicine no longer work. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Itrahit 100mg Tablet has been reported with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Itrahit 100mg Tablet should not be used for infections caused by these species. Follow the entire course of Itrahit 100mg Tablet to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrahit 100mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itrahit 100mg Tablet together, but monitor the side effects of Alprazolam like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any side effects after taking Itrahit 100mg Tablet, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dose of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itrahit 100mg Tablet to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is that?
Your doctor did not prescribe Itrahit 100mg Tablet to your friend because it interferes with the workings of dofetilide, which can cause irregular heart activity and harm the patient.
