Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?

Can I take antacid and Itrasys 100 Capsule together?
Itrasys 100 Capsule requires sufficient acid in the stomach to be effective. If you take antacids or medicines that neutralize stomach acid, take Itrasys 100 Capsule with a drink of cola or wait for at least 2 hours after taking antacids.

I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrasys 100 Capsule now?

My doctor prescribed Itrasys 100 Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
Itrasys 100 Capsule may interact with dofetilide, which can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, potentially harming the patient. Your doctor may have chosen an alternative treatment for your friend due to this interaction.
