Frequently asked questions
What is Itraleaf 200mg Capsule used for?
Itraleaf 200mg Capsule is a prescription medicine used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes ringworm, foot infection, groin or buttocks infections, persistent nail infections (including fingernail and toenail), and yeast infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in individuals with decreased immune function. It is also used to treat cryptococcal infection and other fungal infections caused by Histoplasma, aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
How long do I need to take Itraleaf 200mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Itraleaf 200mg Capsule depends on the specific type and location of the fungal infection, your response to the medication, and other individual factors. For example, athlete's foot (skin infections on feet and toes) may require 30 days of treatment. However, candidiasis (yeast) infections in the vagina could require a range from 1 to 3 days depending on the prescribed dosage by your doctor.
I am taking Itraleaf 200mg Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itraleaf 200mg Capsule without completing the entire course because stopping early may not completely cure the fungal infection. It typically takes around 6-9 months for nail lesions to clear up as new nail growth can take several months after initial treatment. Don't worry if you do not see immediate improvement during your treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may be ordering blood tests to monitor the health of your liver and assess potential liver damage caused by Itraleaf 200mg Capsule. Itraleaf 200mg Capsule can cause serious liver problems, so if you experience signs such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain, tell your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacids and Itraleaf 200mg Capsule together?
Itraleaf 200mg Capsule can be taken when there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Antacids or medications for heartburn, indigestion, or stomach ulcers should be taken about two hours after taking Itraleaf 200mg Capsule. In some cases, it may be better to take both at once, with a cola drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itraleaf 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance can occur when fungal strains in the body are altered and thus no longer respond to the medication. In some cases, this is known as Candida species (Krusei, Glabrata, and Tropicalis) resistance. It's important to note that Itraleaf 200mg Capsule should not be used for infections caused by these species.
I have been taking alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itraleaf 200mg Capsule now?
It's generally safe to take both Alprazolam and Itraleaf 200mg Capsule together, but you should be mindful of potential side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness caused by Alprazolam. If these occur after taking Itraleaf 200mg Capsule, please discuss this with your doctor, who may need to adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itraleaf 200mg 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 Itraleaf 200mg Capsule to your friend due to its interaction with dofetilide. This drug interferes with the normal functioning of the heart, which could lead to potentially harmful electrical disturbances.
