Frequently asked questions
What is Itraz 100 Capsule used for?
Itraz 100 Capsule is used to treat infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These include ringworm, foot infection, groin/buttock infection, persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth, and cryptococcal infection. It is also used to treat Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces infections.
For how long do I need to take Itraz 100 Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. For example, treatment for athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes) might require 30 days. However, treatment for candidal infections of the vagina may span from one day to three days depending on the dosage prescribed by your doctor.
I am taking Itraz 100 Capsule for nail infection but there is no improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itraz 100 Capsule without completing the entire course. Stopping early may not completely cure the fungal infection and could lead to recurrence.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may be checking your liver function as Itraz 100 Capsule can cause serious liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itraz 100 Capsule, immediately inform your doctor.
Can I take antacid and Itraz 100 Capsule together?
Itraz 100 Capsule can be taken with an antacid if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for heartburn, indigestion, or ulcers neutralize stomach acid. Therefore, consider taking antacids or such medications approximately two hours after taking Itraz 100 Capsule. You can also take Itraz 100 Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itraz 100 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in the body change, making the medication ineffective. This has been reported with certain candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). If you are dealing with these species of candida, Itraz 100 Capsule should not be used for treatment.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itraz 100 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itraz 100 Capsule together, but remain mindful of potential side effects like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these side effects arise after taking Itraz 100 Capsule, talk to your doctor who may adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itraz 100 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 Itraz 100 Capsule to your friend due to potential interactions with dofetilide. This interaction can cause interference with the heart's electrical activity, which could be detrimental.
