Frequently asked questions
What is Itratuf Capsule used for?
Itratuf Capsule is an antifungal medication that treats various fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes conditions such as ringworm infection, athlete's foot, fungal infections of the feet or groin, persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat, cryptococcal infection, and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itratuf Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Itratuf Capsule depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your individual response. For example, if you're taking it for athlete's foot, the dose may be taken for 30 days, while a candidal vaginal infection might require only 1-3 days of treatment.
I am taking Itratuf 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 as directed by your doctor. Fungal infections can take several months to clear up completely.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is monitoring your liver function due to potential risks associated with Itratuf Capsule use. 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 Itratuf Capsule together?
Take antacids about 2 hours after taking Itratuf Capsule. If you're taking antacids that neutralize stomach acid, take Itratuf Capsule with a cola drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itratuf Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in your body modify and the medicine no longer works. Resistance to Itratuf Capsule has been reported for some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Complete the course of treatment as directed by your doctor to avoid developing drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Itratuf Capsule now?
You can take both Alprazolam and Itratuf Capsule together, but be aware of potential side effects such as drowsiness or lightheadedness. Inform your doctor if you experience any adverse effects.
My doctor prescribed Itratuf 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 Itratuf Capsule to your friend due to potential interactions between Itratuf Capsule and dofetilide, which can cause heart rhythm disturbances.
