Frequently asked questions
What is M IT 200mg Tablet used for?
M IT 200mg Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat various fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These include ringworm, infection of the feet, and infection in the groin and buttocks. It is also used for persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It's also used to treat cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take M IT 200mg Tablet?
The dose duration depends on the type and site of fungal infection and your response to treatment. For example, athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the treatment might last for up to 30 days. However, if treating a candidal infection in the vagina, the dosage may span from 1 day to 3 days depending on what your doctor advises.
I am taking M IT 200mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must not stop taking M IT 200mg Tablet without completing the entire course. This is crucial because stopping early might not completely cure the fungal infection. Fungal infections often require prolonged treatment (6-9 months) for complete resolution as new nails grow after the medication eliminates the fungus. Continue your prescribed medication and do not worry if you don’t see improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor likely wants to monitor the health of your liver while taking M IT 200mg Tablet. This medication can potentially cause serious liver damage, so it's crucial to report any sudden changes in appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain to your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and M IT 200mg Tablet together?
M IT 200mg Tablet can be taken by the body if there's sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, you should take antacids or any similar medication approximately 2 hours after taking M IT 200mg Tablet. You can also take M IT 200mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to M IT 200mg Tablet?
Occasionally, the fungi in your body could mutate and become resistant to the medication. This is known as drug resistance. Resistance to M IT 200mg Tablet has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). The use of M IT 200mg Tablet for infections caused by these species should be avoided.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start M IT 200mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can take both alprazolam and M IT 200mg Tablet together; however, keep a close watch on the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any side effects appear after taking M IT 200mg Tablet, talk to your doctor; they will modify the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed M IT 200mg Tablet 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 M IT 200mg Tablet to your friend because this medication interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference could potentially cause disturbed electrical activity in the heart, which can be harmful.
