For how long do I need to take Itralent SB 65 Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Itralent SB 65 Capsule depends on the type and site of infection. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and length of treatment based on your individual needs and response to the medication.
I am taking Itralent SB 65 Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itralent SB 65 Capsule without completing the entire course of treatment. It may take several months (6-9 months) for nail lesions to disappear as new nail growth occurs after the fungus is eliminated.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is monitoring your liver function because Itralent SB 65 Capsule may cause serious liver damage. If you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itralent SB 65 Capsule together?
Yes, but take the antacid at least 2 hours after taking Itralent SB 65 Capsule to ensure adequate stomach acid for absorption. Alternatively, you can take Itralent SB 65 Capsule with a drink of cola if using an antacid that neutralizes stomach acid.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itralent SB 65 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungus adapts to the medication and no longer responds. Resistance to Itralent SB 65 Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Complete the full course of treatment to avoid developing drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itralent SB 65 Capsule now?
Yes, but monitor your side effects closely and consult your doctor if you experience any adverse reactions while taking both medications together.
My doctor prescribed Itralent SB 65 Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
Itralent SB 65 Capsule may interfere with the working of dofetilide, which can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, potentially harming the patient.
