Frequently asked questions
What is Itrajet 100 Capsule used for?
Itrajet 100 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 is used to treat persistent infections 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 Itrajet 100 Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Itrajet 100 Capsule depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Itrajet 100 Capsule for athlete's foot, the treatment may last for 30 days, whereas for candidal infection of the vagina, the treatment may span from 1 day to 3 days, depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
I am taking Itrajet 100 Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, it is essential to complete the entire course of Itrajet 100 Capsule as directed by your doctor. Stopping treatment prematurely may not completely cure the fungal infection. It typically takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear, as the new nail growth takes several months to occur. Do not discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring your liver function due to the potential risk of serious liver damage associated with Itrajet 100 Capsule. If you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itrajet 100 Capsule, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itrajet 100 Capsule together?
Itrajet 100 Capsule requires sufficient stomach acid for absorption. Antacids or medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion can neutralize stomach acid. To ensure proper absorption, take antacids or similar medicines 2 hours after taking Itrajet 100 Capsule. If you are taking antacids that stop stomach acid production, take Itrajet 100 Capsule with a cola drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrajet 100 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in your body adapt and the medicine no longer works. Resistance to Itrajet 100 Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Itrajet 100 Capsule should not be used for infections caused by these species. To avoid drug resistance, take the complete course of Itrajet 100 Capsule as directed by your doctor.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrajet 100 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itrajet 100 Capsule together, but monitor the side effects of alprazolam, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Itrajet 100 Capsule, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itrajet 100 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 Itrajet 100 Capsule to your friend because Itrajet 100 Capsule can interfere with the working of dofetilide, potentially causing disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful. It is essential to consult your doctor before taking any medication, especially if you are taking other medications.
