For how long do I need to take Itraterg 200mg Capsule?

I am taking Itraterg 200mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not discontinue Itraterg 200mg Capsule without completing the entire treatment course, as this may not fully resolve the fungal infection. It typically takes several months (6-9) for nail lesions to disappear.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your healthcare provider likely ordered blood tests to monitor your liver function, as Itraterg 200mg Capsule may cause serious liver damage. Report any symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication.
Can I take antacid and Itraterg 200mg Capsule together?
To ensure proper absorption of Itraterg 200mg Capsule, take it with a drink of cola if you are on antacids. Otherwise, wait at least two hours after taking an antacid before administering Itraterg 200mg Capsule.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itraterg 200mg Capsule?
Resistance occurs when fungi adapt and the medication becomes ineffective. Resistance to Itraterg 200mg Capsule has been reported with certain Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Complete the full treatment course to minimize this risk.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itraterg 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itraterg 200mg Capsule together, but monitor the side effects of alprazolam such as drowsiness or lightheadedness. If these symptoms persist after taking Itraterg 200mg Capsule, consult your doctor for guidance.
My doctor prescribed Itraterg 200mg Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
