Frequently asked questions
What is Itzcare 200mg Capsule used for?
Itzcare 200mg Capsule is a prescription medication used to treat various fungal infections. Specifically, it's effective against Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These fungi are responsible for ringworm infection, athlete's foot, and other skin infections in the groin and buttocks. It can also be used to treat persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, as well as yeast (Candida) infections of the vagina or mouth.
For how long do I need to take Itzcare 200mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the severity and location of the infection. For example, athlete's foot typically requires treatment for a minimum of 30 days, while vaginal yeast infections may span from one day to three days, depending on the doctor's recommendation.
I am taking Itzcare 200mg Capsule for nail infection but haven't seen any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not discontinue Itzcare 200mg Capsule without completing the entire course as stopping early may not fully eradicate the fungal infection. It usually takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to clear completely. If no improvement occurs, do not worry; it's a common part of the treatment process.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Blood tests help assess liver function during treatment with Itzcare 200mg Capsule. This medication can cause serious liver damage, and your doctor wants to monitor this carefully for any adverse effects.
Can I take antacids and Itzcare 200mg Capsule together?
It's important that you remember that Itzcare 200mg Capsule is best used in a stomach with sufficient acidity. Medications for heartburn, indigestion, or stomach ulcers should be taken about two hours after taking Itzcare 200mg Capsule. If necessary, drink the capsule with cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itzcare 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance can occur when fungal organisms in your body change due to treatment. This makes the medication less effective, and is sometimes referred to as 'resistance.' Some Candida species such as krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis have shown to be resistant to Itzcare 200mg Capsule. It's crucial to avoid using Itzcare 200mg Capsule for infections caused by these species.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Itzcare 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can safely take both Alprazolam and Itzcare 200mg Capsule together, but keep an eye out for potential side effects like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these symptoms occur after taking Itzcare 200mg Capsule, please inform your doctor, who may adjust your dose of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itzcare 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 Itzcare 200mg Capsule to your friend because it can interfere with the working of dofetilide. This interference can disrupt the electrical activity of the heart, potentially leading to adverse effects for the patient.
