Frequently asked questions

It can be used to treat various types of fungal infections, including ringworm, infections of the feet, groin and buttocks, persistent infections of the fingernails and toenails, Candida (yeast) infections in the vagina or mouth/throat, and cryptococcal infection caused by *Cryptococcus neoformans*, as well as histoplasmosis, aspergillosis, and blastomycosis.
For how long do I need to take Jimlig SB 130 Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Jimlig SB 130 Capsule depends on the specific type of fungal infection and your response to treatment. Typical courses for certain conditions include: Athlete's foot (skin infections): typically a course for 30 days; Candidal vaginal infections: ranging from one day to three days depending on your doctor's advice.
I am taking Jimlig SB 130 Capsule for nail infection but there doesn’t seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must not discontinue Jimlig SB 130 Capsule without completing the entire prescribed course of treatment. This is important because premature stopping may prevent complete eradication of the fungal infection and could lead to recurrence. While some improvement may be expected within six to nine months for nail lesions, it's crucial to adhere to the full medication schedule as the new nail requires time to grow. If you do not see immediate improvement during treatment, discuss this with your doctor.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Blood tests may be necessary to assess liver function in patients taking Jimlig SB 130 Capsule. This is because Jimlig SB 130 Capsule can potentially cause serious liver damage. If you experience any symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Jimlig SB 130 Capsule, immediately notify your doctor.
Can I take antacid and Jimlig SB 130 Capsule together?
Jimlig SB 130 Capsule is effective in the body if adequate acid levels remain within the stomach. Medications for heartburn, indigestion, or ulcers often neutralize acid produced by the stomach. As a precaution, you should avoid taking antacids or similar medications right before Jimlig SB 130 Capsule administration and should wait at least two hours after taking your medication before consuming any antacid. You may take Jimlig SB 130 Capsule with cola as a drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Jimlig SB 130 Capsule?
Drug resistance can happen when the fungi in your body change and become resistant to the medication. Resistance has been reported with some Candida species, including *Candida krusei*, *Candida glabrata*, and *Candida tropicalis*. It's essential to avoid using Jimlig SB 130 Capsule for infections caused by these species.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Jimlig SB 130 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Jimlig SB 130 Capsule together, but monitor your reaction to the combination of medications such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any side effects following Jimlig SB 130 Capsule administration, consult your doctor for dose adjustments.
My doctor prescribed Jimlig SB 130 Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
The reason your doctor did not prescribe Jimlig SB 130 Capsule to your friend might be due to its interaction with the medication dofetilide. This interaction can lead to heart rhythm disturbances or potentially harmful effects on the patient's health.
