It can be used to treat ringworm infection, skin infections in the feet or groin/buttocks, persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance, cryptococcal infection, and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
How long do I need to take Itroscan 200mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific type and location of infection. For example, treatment for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet) may require 30 days, while treatment for vaginal candidiasis may span from one day to three days, depending on prescribed dosage.
I am taking Itroscan 200mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itroscan 200mg Tablet without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as new nails grow after the medicine eliminates the fungus.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Blood tests are often ordered to monitor your liver's function. Itroscan 200mg Tablet can cause serious liver damage. If you develop any symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itroscan 200mg Tablet, tell your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itroscan 200mg Tablet together?
Itroscan 200mg Tablet can be effectively used in the body if there is sufficient acid present in the stomach. Medicines for treating ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or any such medicine about two hours after taking Itroscan 200mg Tablet. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Itroscan 200mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itroscan 200mg Tablet?
Drug resistance can occur when fungi in your body change and become resistant to the medicine. This means the medication no longer works as expected. Resistance to Itroscan 200mg Tablet has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). It is important to take a full course of Itroscan 200mg Tablet to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itroscan 200mg Tablet now?
You can take both Alprazolam and Itroscan 200mg Tablet together, but watch out for potential side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any side effects after taking Itroscan 200mg Tablet, talk to your doctor who will adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itroscan 200mg 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 did not prescribe Itroscan 200mg Tablet to your friend due to potential interaction with Dofetilide, which can cause interference with the heart's electrical activity and may lead to adverse effects.
