Frequently asked questions
What is Mega IT 200mg Capsule used for?
Mega IT 200mg Capsule is a treatment for fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. This includes conditions such as ringworm, athlete's foot, and persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat.
For how long do I need to take Mega IT 200mg Capsule?
The treatment duration depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your individual response. For instance, a 30-day course may be prescribed for athlete's foot, while a shorter or longer treatment span may be recommended for other conditions.
I am taking Mega IT 200mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should complete the entire course of treatment as stopping prematurely may not fully cure the fungal infection. It typically takes several months for new nail growth and resolution of symptoms.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is monitoring your liver function, as Mega IT 200mg Capsule may cause serious liver damage. If you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Mega IT 200mg Capsule together?
Yes, but take the antacid about 2 hours after taking Mega IT 200mg Capsule to ensure sufficient stomach acid for the medication's absorption. Alternatively, you can take Mega IT 200mg Capsule with a drink of cola if you are taking antacids that stop stomach acid production.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Mega IT 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi modify in your body and the medicine no longer works. Resistance to Mega IT 200mg Capsule has been reported with some candida species. Complete the full course of treatment to avoid developing drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Mega IT 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Mega IT 200mg Capsule together, but be aware of the potential side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Mega IT 200mg Capsule, consult your doctor who will modify the dose of alprazolam if necessary.
My doctor prescribed Mega IT 200mg 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 Mega IT 200mg Capsule to your friend because the medication interferes with the working of dofetilide, potentially causing disturbed electrical activity of the heart.
