Frequently asked questions
What is Jimlig SB 65 Capsule used for?
Jimlig SB 65 Capsule is used to treat various fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can affect the skin, feet, groin, and buttocks, as well as persistent infections of the fingernails and toenails, and candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with compromised immune systems. It is also used to treat cryptococcal infections and infections caused by Histoplasma, aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Jimlig SB 65 Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Jimlig SB 65 Capsule depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Jimlig SB 65 Capsule for athlete's foot, the treatment may last for 30 days, while for candidal infection of the vagina, the treatment may span from 1 to 3 days, depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
I am taking Jimlig SB 65 Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Jimlig SB 65 Capsule without completing the entire course of treatment, as this may not completely cure the fungal infection. It typically takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to clear up, as the new nail growth takes time to eliminate the fungus. Do not worry if you do not see improvement during the treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring your liver function, as Jimlig SB 65 Capsule may cause serious liver damage. If you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Jimlig SB 65 Capsule, you should inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Jimlig SB 65 Capsule together?
Jimlig SB 65 Capsule requires sufficient stomach acid to be effective. Antacids, which neutralize stomach acid, should be taken 2 hours after taking Jimlig SB 65 Capsule. If you are taking antacids that stop stomach acid production, take Jimlig SB 65 Capsule with a cola drink.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Jimlig SB 65 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body adapt and the medicine is no longer effective. Resistance to Jimlig SB 65 Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Jimlig SB 65 Capsule should not be used to treat infections caused by these species. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Jimlig SB 65 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Jimlig SB 65 Capsule together, but monitor the side effects of alprazolam, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Jimlig SB 65 Capsule, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Jimlig SB 65 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 Jimlig SB 65 Capsule to your friend because Jimlig SB 65 Capsule interacts with dofetilide, which can cause abnormal heart rhythms, potentially harming the patient.
