Frequently asked questions
What is Itshine 200mg Capsule used for?
Itshine 200mg Capsule is a prescription medication used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It can be used to treat various conditions, including ringworm infection of the skin (athlete’s foot), infections of the feet or groin/buttocks, persistent nail infections like those found on the nails, and candidiasis (yeast) infections in the vagina or mouth.
For how long do I need to take Itshine 200mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Itshine 200mg Capsule depends on the type, site, and severity of infection as well as your response to the medication. It usually involves taking the medicine for 3-6 months. For example, athlete’s foot requires up to 30 days of treatment while vaginal candidiasis may require a shorter duration, ranging from one day to three days.
I am taking Itshine 200mg Capsule but there is no improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itshine 200mg Capsule without completing the full course prescribed by your doctor. Stopping the medication early may result in incomplete fungal elimination and potentially prolonging the infection.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor might have requested blood tests to assess your liver function. Itshine 200mg Capsule can potentially cause liver damage, so it's important to monitor your liver health during treatment.
Can I take antacid and Itshine 200mg Capsule together?
It is generally recommended to take Itashine 200mg Capsules with a beverage like cola or a glass of water as they are not usually used for acid neutralization. You can also consider taking an antacid or any other medication that neutralizes stomach acids about two hours after taking Itshine 200mg Capsule.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itshine 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in the body adapt and change, making the medicine ineffective. This can happen with certain Candida species like krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis. If your doctor suspects drug-resistant infection, you may need a different treatment plan.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itshine 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can combine Alprazolam and Itshine 200mg Capsule but monitor for any side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these occur, contact your doctor who may adjust your alprazolam dosage.
My doctor prescribed Itshine 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 Itshine 200mg Capsule to your friend because the medication can interfere with dofetilide's effectiveness in patients with heart conditions. Dofetilide is used to treat a specific type of heart condition, and using itshine 200mg Capsule may potentially interact with it.
