Frequently asked questions
What is Itrazol 100mg Capsule used for?
Itrazol 100mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can be ringworm, infection of the feet, or infection in the groin and buttocks. It also treats persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, as well as Candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or Candida (yeast) infections of the mouth or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also used for the treatment of cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itrazol 100mg Capsule?
The dose and duration of treatment depend on the type and site of infection and your response to treatment. For instance, if you are taking Itrazol 100mg Capsule for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may be taken for 30 days, while if you are taking it for candidal infection in the vagina, the duration might range from one day to three days based on the dosage prescribed by your doctor.
I am taking Itrazol 100mg Capsule for nail infection but there doesn’t seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itrazol 100mg Capsule without completing the entire course because discontinuation may not fully eliminate the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as the new nail needs several months to grow after the medication eliminates the fungus. Don't worry if you don’t see any improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may be monitoring your liver function as Itrazol 100mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itrazol 100mg Capsule, notify your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itrazol 100mg Capsule together?
Itrazol 100mg Capsule can be used by the body if sufficient acid is present in the stomach. Medicines for peptic ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize stomach acid. Therefore, take antacids or any such medication approximately two hours after taking Itrazol 100mg Capsule. You can also take Itrazol 100mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrazol 100mg Capsule?
Sometimes, fungi can modify their structure in your body, and the medication becomes ineffective. This is known as drug resistance. Resistance to Itrazol 100mg Capsule has been reported with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Therefore, it should not be used for infections caused by these species. Take the complete course of Itrazol 100mg Capsule to prevent drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrazol 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itrazol 100mg Capsule together, but keep a watchful eye on the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Itrazol 100mg Capsule, talk to your doctor who may need to modify the dose of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itrazol 100mg 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 Itrazol 100mg Capsule to your friend because Itrazol 100mg Capsule can interfere with the function of dofetilide. This interference may cause disturbed electrical activity in the heart, which could be harmful to the patient.
