Frequently asked questions
What is Kitler SB 50mg Capsule used for?
Kitler SB 50mg Capsule is prescribed to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It can address ringworm, foot infection, groin and buttock infections, persistent nail and toenail infections, candidiasis (yeast) in the vagina or mouth/throat, and cryptococcal infection as well as Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces infections.
For how long do I need to take Kitler SB 50mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of the infection, your response to the medication, and other factors. For example, if you are treating athlete's foot (fungal infection in the skin on the feet and between toes), a course of 30 days may be required, while for vaginal candidiasis, treatment might span from one day to three days depending on dosage advice from your doctor.
I am taking Kitler SB 50mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Kitler SB 50mg Capsule without completing the full course. Stopping early may not fully eliminate the fungal infection. Nail lesions often take about six-nine months to disappear, as the new nail requires several months to grow. Don't worry if you don't see immediate improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring your liver function while on Kitler SB 50mg Capsule. This medication may lead to serious liver damage, and you must report any symptoms of liver problems (loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain) immediately if you experience them.
Can I take antacid and Kitler SB 50mg Capsule together?
Kitler SB 50mg Capsule is intended to be used with a sufficient amount of stomach acid. Medicines for ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acids produced in the stomach. Therefore, you should consume antacids or similar medications about two hours after taking Kitler SB 50mg Capsules. If you are using antacids (medicines that stop acid production), take Kitler SB 50mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Kitler SB 50mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in the body change, rendering the medication ineffective. Resistance to Kitler SB 50mg Capsule has been reported with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Therefore, Kitler SB 50mg Capsule should not be used for infections caused by these species. Ensure you take the complete course of medication as advised to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Kitler SB 50mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can safely take both Alprazolam and Kitler SB 50mg Capsule together; however, keep an eye out for any potential side effects of Alprazolam, like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Kitler SB 50mg Capsules, talk to your doctor, who may adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Kitler SB 50mg 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 Kitler SB 50mg Capsule for your friend due to the medication's interaction with dofetilide, which can disrupt heart electrical activity and potentially be harmful.
