Frequently asked questions
What is Itramod 200mg Capsule used for?
Itramod 200mg Capsule is an antifungal medication used to treat a range of fungal infections, including ringworm infection, athlete's foot, and candida (yeast) infections. It is also effective in treating persistent fungal infections of the fingernails and toenails, as well as cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itramod 200mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Itramod 200mg Capsule varies depending on the type and site of infection. For example, a 30-day course may be required for athlete's foot or candidal infections, while a shorter course (1-3 days) may be sufficient for vaginal yeast infections.
I am taking Itramod 200mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should complete the entire course of treatment with Itramod 200mg Capsule as directed by your doctor, even if symptoms do not improve immediately. Nail lesions may take several months (6-9 months) to clear up after fungal infection has been eliminated.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is monitoring your liver function while you are taking Itramod 200mg Capsule, as this medication can cause serious liver damage. If you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itramod 200mg Capsule together?
Yes, but take the antacid (or similar medication) at least 2 hours after taking Itramod 200mg Capsule. If you are taking an antacid that neutralizes stomach acid, consider taking Itramod 200mg Capsule with a cola drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itramod 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungal infection becomes resistant to treatment due to genetic modification. Resistance to Itramod 200mg Capsule has been reported with certain candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Complete the prescribed course of treatment to avoid developing drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itramod 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itramod 200mg Capsule together, but be aware of potential side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects occur after taking Itramod 200mg Capsule, consult your doctor for dose adjustments.
My doctor prescribed Itramod 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 Itramod 200mg Capsule to your friend because this medication can interact with dofetilide, potentially causing abnormal heart electrical activity. This interaction may be harmful, which is why the doctor chose not to prescribe Itramod 200mg Capsule.
