Frequently asked questions
What is Itzhh 200 Capsule used for?
Itzhh 200 Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. The infections may be ringworm infection, foot infection, or groin and buttock infection. It also treats persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, as well as yeast infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. This medicine is used for treating cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itzhh 200 Capsule?
The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific type and site of infection and your body's response. For example, if you are taking Itzhh 200 for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may need to be taken for 30 days. However, if you are taking it for candidal vaginal infection, the dose may range from 1 day to 3 days depending on the doctor’s dosage recommendation.
I am taking Itzhh 200 Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itzhh 200 Capsule without completing the entire course. Stopping prematurely may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as the new nail grows after eliminating the fungus. Do not worry if you don't see any improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor likely wants to monitor your liver function. Itzhh 200 Capsule may cause serious liver damage, so it is important to be monitored for any potential side effects.
Can I take antacid and Itzhh 200 Capsule together?
Itzhh 200 Capsule can be utilized by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or any such medicine about 2 hours after taking Itzhh 200 Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Itzhh 200 Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itzhh 200 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi mutate in the body, making the medicine ineffective. This can occur with certain candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). If you have this specific type of infection, Itzhh 200 Capsule should not be used for treatment.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itzhh 200 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itzhh 200 Capsule together. However, keep a close watch for any potential side effects from alprazolam, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness.
My doctor prescribed Itzhh 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 Itzhh 200 Capsule for your friend because it may interfere with the workings of dofetilide, which can lead to a disturbance in heart electrical activity and possibly be harmful.
