Frequently asked questions
What is Itrobrik 200 Capsule used for?
Itrobrik 200 Capsule is an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes conditions such as ringworm, athlete's foot, fungal infections of the groin and buttocks, persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance, cryptococcal infection, and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itrobrik 200 Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection as well as your response to the medication. Treatment periods may vary from 30 days for conditions like athlete's foot to 1-3 days for vaginal candidal infections, determined by your doctor's dosage advice.
I am taking Itrobrik 200 Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not discontinue using Itrobrik 200 Capsule without completing the entire course of treatment because premature discontinuation may lead to incomplete curing of the fungal infection. It usually takes several months for nail lesions to disappear as the new nail grows after the fungus is eliminated.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring your liver function due to the risk of serious liver damage associated with Itrobrik 200 Capsule. If you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itrobrik 200 Capsule together?
To utilize Itrobrik 200 Capsule effectively, take it with sufficient stomach acid. However, if you need to take antacids or medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion, use them about 2 hours after taking Itrobrik 200 Capsule. If necessary, consider taking Itrobrik 200 Capsule with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrobrik 200 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body modify and become resistant to the medication. Resistance to Itrobrik 200 Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). To avoid drug resistance, complete the entire course of Itrobrik 200 Capsule as prescribed by your doctor.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itrobrik 200 Capsule now?
You can take both Alprazolam and Itrobrik 200 Capsule together, but monitor the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any side effects after taking Itrobrik 200 Capsule, consult your doctor who may adjust the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itrobrik 200 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 Itrobrik 200 Capsule to your friend because Itrobrik 200 Capsule can interfere with the working of dofetilide, potentially causing disturbed electrical activity in the heart that may be harmful.
