For how long do I need to take Itrazax 100mg Tablet?

I am taking Itrazax 100mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itrazax 100mg Tablet without completing the prescribed course. Stopping early may not completely cure the fungal infection. Fungal infections often require a prolonged treatment schedule of several months before complete remission. It's important to follow your doctor's guidance.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may have ordered blood tests to check for liver function during treatment with Itrazax 100mg Tablet. This is because it can cause serious liver damage, and early detection through blood tests helps manage potential side effects.
Can I take antacid and Itrazax 100mg Tablet together?

Antacids neutralize the acid produced by the body, so it's best to have them taken 2 hours after taking Itrazax 100mg Tablet. If you are experiencing heartburn, indigestion, or acid reflux, you can also take Itrazax 100mg Tablet with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrazax 100mg Tablet?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi change their structure and the medication no longer works. This can happen when a patient's body develops resistance to the medication used to treat them.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrazax 100mg Tablet now?
It is generally safe to take both Alprazolam and Itrazax 100mg Tablet together, but keep an eye out for possible side effects of Alprazolam, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness.

My doctor prescribed Itrazax 100mg Tablet to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
Your doctor decided against prescribing Itrazax 100mg Tablet to your friend due to potential interactions with the medication dofetilide. Dofetilide can interact with Itrazax 100mg, impacting heart function and potentially causing complications.
