Frequently asked questions
What is Itraks 100mg Capsule used for?
Itraks 100mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can include ringworm, foot infections, groin or buttock infections, persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, vaginal candidiasis (yeast infection), and candida (yeast) infections of the mouth or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. Itraks 100mg Capsule also treats cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itraks 100mg Capsule?
The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type, site, and response to the medication. For example, if you are treating athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the treatment may require 30 days of daily dosage. However, for vaginal candidiasis, the treatment may span from one day to three days depending on the prescribed dosage by your doctor.
I am taking Itraks 100mg Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itraks 100mg Capsule without completing the entire course because stopping treatment may result in incomplete fungal eradication. Nail lesions often take around six to nine months to disappear as new nails grow slowly after eliminating the fungus. Do not worry if you don't see immediate improvement.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may be checking your liver function. Itraks 100mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage, so it is important to report any symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain to your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itraks 100mg Capsule together?
Itraks 100mg Capsule can be used by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications for heartburn or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, it should be taken with a drink of cola after 2 hours.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itraks 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance may occur when fungi mutate in the body, making the medication ineffective. Resistance to Itraks 100mg Capsule has been reported for some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Therefore, Itraks 100mg Capsule should not be used if these species are causing an infection. Always follow a complete treatment course as this can help prevent resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itraks 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itraks 100mg Capsule together. However, monitor the side effects of alprazolam like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any side effects after taking Itraks 100mg Capsule, consult your doctor to adjust your alprazolam dosage.
My doctor prescribed Itraks 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 Itraks 100mg Capsule to your friend as it can interact with dofetilide, which can cause disturbances in the heart's electrical activity, potentially leading to harm.
