Frequently asked questions
What is Itrawel 200mg Capsule used for?
Itrawel 200mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. The infections can be ringworm, foot infection, or groin/buttocks infection. It also treats persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, persistent Candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also used in the treatment of cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itrawel 200mg Capsule?
The dose and length of treatment depend on the type and site of infection and your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Itrawel 200mg Capsule for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may need to be taken for 30 days. However, it can span from 1 day to 3 days depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
I am taking Itrawel 200mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itrawel 200mg Capsule without completing the entire 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 nail growth needs time. Don't worry if you don't see improvement during the treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely trying to monitor your liver function. Itrawel 200mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage, so if you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itrawel 200mg Capsule, you should tell your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itrawel 200mg Capsule together?
Itrawel 200mg Capsule can be utilized by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach, so you should take antacids or any such medicine about 2 hours after taking Itrawel 200mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Itrawel 200mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrawel 200mg Capsule?
Sometimes fungi change in your body, making the medicine ineffective. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Itrawel 200mg Capsule has been reported with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). If you have a fungal infection caused by these species, Itrawel 200mg Capsule should not be used.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrawel 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itrawel 200mg Capsule together, but be aware of possible side effects of Alprazolam like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Itrawel 200mg Capsule, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itrawel 200mg 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 Itrawel 200mg Capsule to your friend because it interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity in the heart, which can be harmful.
