Frequently asked questions
What is Itzole 100 Capsule used for?
Itzole 100 Capsule is used to treat infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum, including ringworm infections, infections of the feet, or infection in the groin and buttocks. It may also be used for persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance.
For how long do I need to take Itzole 100 Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the medication. For example, if treating athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), treatment may last for 30 days. However, if you are treating candidal infections in the vagina, treatment duration might range from 1 day to 3 days, as advised by your doctor.
I am taking Itzole 100 Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itzole 100 Capsule without completing the entire course because discontinuing early may allow the fungal infection to recur or become more resistant. Treatment typically requires a prolonged course (6-9 months) for nail lesions to disappear due to the time needed for new nails to grow and for the medication's full effect.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor might be requesting blood tests to assess liver function. Itzole 100 Capsule may cause significant liver damage, so it is essential to report any unusual symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain to your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itzole 100 Capsule together?
Itzole 100 Capsule can be taken with antacids. However, it's important to do so after a 2-hour wait; this allows the medication to work without being interfered by antacid.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itzole 100 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungal populations evolve and become less responsive to medications over time. It has been reported with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). To avoid this, ensure a complete course of Itzole 100 Capsule treatment is followed.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itzole 100 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both alprazolam and Itzole 100 Capsule together, but monitor the side effects of alprazolam (lightheadedness or drowsiness) closely. If you experience these side effects after taking Itzole 100 Capsule, discuss it with your doctor who will adjust the dose of alprazolam as needed.
My doctor prescribed Itzole 100 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 may not prescribe Itzole 100 Capsule to your friend due to potential interactions with her current medication, dofetilide. This drug can interfere with the function of Itzole 100 Capsule and potentially cause complications.
