Frequently asked questions
What is Itraqueen 200mg Tablet used for?
Itraqueen 200mg Tablet is an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections, including ringworm, foot infections, groin and buttocks infections, persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, candidiasis (yeast infections) of the vagina, mouth, or throat, and cryptococcal infection. It also treats infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
How long do I need to take Itraqueen 200mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of the infection, your response to the medication, and any specific instructions from your doctor. For example, athlete's foot (ringworm) usually requires treatment for 30 days, while candidal infections of the vagina may require treatment for 1 to 3 days depending on the prescribed dosage by your doctor.
I am experiencing no improvement in my nail infection despite taking Itraqueen 200mg Tablet. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itraqueen 200mg Tablet without finishing the entire course prescribed by your doctor as this may not fully cure the fungal infection. Nail lesions usually take 6-9 months to disappear because after removing the fungus, the new nail needs several months to grow. Continue with the medication and do not worry if you don't see any immediate improvement.
Why has my doctor asked me to have blood tests done?
Your doctor may be monitoring your liver function as Itraqueen 200mg Tablet can potentially cause serious liver damage. If you experience symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacids and Itraqueen 200mg Tablet together?
Itraqueen 200mg Tablet can be used when there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, Itraqueen 200mg Tablets should be taken about 2 hours after taking antacids or any other medications designed to stop stomach acid production. In case of using antacids, it is recommended to take Itraqueen 200mg tablets with a cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itraqueen 200mg Tablet?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi change in your body, making the medicine ineffective. This is known as drug resistance. Drug resistance has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Itraqueen 200mg Tablet should not be used for infections caused by these species. Completing the full course of medication is important to avoid this.
My doctor prescribed Itraqueen 200mg Tablet to me but not my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
Your doctor may not prescribe Itraqueen 200mg Tablet for your friend if they're taking dofetilide, as the medication can interfere with dofetilide's effectiveness and potentially cause heart problems.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Itraqueen 200mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itraqueen 200mg Tablet together, but keep a watch on the side effects of Alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any side effects occur after taking Itraqueen 200mg Tablet, talk to your doctor. The doctor might modify the dosage of Alprazolam based on the symptoms.
