Frequently asked questions
What is Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule used for?
Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can involve ringworm, foot infections, or groin/buttocks infections. It is also prescribed for persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, as well as persistent yeast (Candida) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is used to treat cryptococcal infection and other infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule?
The treatment duration depends on the type, location of infection, and your response to treatment. For example, if you are taking Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule for athlete’s foot (skin fungal infection in feet and between toes), treatment may last 30 days. However, it can vary for other types, with some cases lasting as short as 1 day or longer than three days depending on the prescribed dosage by your doctor.
I am taking Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule for a nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule without completing the full course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as new nails grow after the fungus has been eliminated.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor might be monitoring your liver function during treatment with Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule. This medicine can potentially cause serious liver damage. If you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule, tell your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule together?
Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule can be taken by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications for ulcers, heartburn or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or similar medications approximately 2 hours after taking Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule. If you're taking antacid medications (medications that stop the production of stomach acid), take Itrasys SB 130mg capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule?
Sometimes, the fungi in your body may change and become resistant to the medicine. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule has been reported for certain Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule should not be used if you have these types of infections. Taking the full course of Itrasys SB 130mg Capsule can help prevent resistance.
