Can I take antacid and Itropar 200mg Capsule together?
Yes, but consider taking the antacid 2 hours after taking Itropar 200mg Capsule. Alternatively, if you're taking an antacid that neutralizes stomach acid, you can take Itropar 200mg Capsule with a cola drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itropar 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungus in your body adapts and the medication no longer works. Resistance to Itropar 200mg Capsule has been reported with certain candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). To avoid developing drug resistance, complete the full treatment course as directed by your doctor.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itropar 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itropar 200mg Capsule together, but monitor for side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects occur after taking Itropar 200mg Capsule, consult your doctor who may adjust the alprazolam dose accordingly.
My doctor prescribed Itropar 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 Itropar 200mg Capsule to your friend due to the potential interference with dofetilide, which can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart and be harmful.
