Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule is a prescription medication used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These include ringworm, infection of the feet, infection in the groin and buttocks, persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth or throat. It can also be used to treat cryptococcal infections and other infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule depends on the type and site of infection. For example, treatment for athlete's foot might last 30 days, while for candidal infection of the vagina, treatment can range from 1 day to 3 days depending on doctor’s advice.
I am taking Lantraz 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 Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It typically takes several months for toenail lesions to disappear. Do not worry if you do not see immediate improvement.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely performing blood tests to monitor your liver’s function as Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage. If you experience symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule together?
Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule can be taken by the body when 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 medicines approximately 2 hours after taking Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule. In case of taking antacids, take the Lantraz SB 50mg capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi are modified in your body, making the medication no longer effective. Resistance to Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule should not be used for infection caused by these species. Always complete the full course of Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule together; however, monitor the side effects of Alprazolam like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any side effects occur after taking Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule, consult your doctor who will adjust your Alprazolam dosage.
My doctor prescribed Lantraz 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 Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule for your friend because Lantraz SB 50mg Capsule can interfere with the workings of dofetilide, potentially causing changes in heart electrical activity that might be harmful to the patient.
