Frequently asked questions
Can Moniter 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Moniter 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. It is important to have a liver function test performed to assess liver health. The medication is metabolized by the liver, and impaired liver function can lead to elevated drug levels in the blood, potentially resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it's crucial to inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, notify your doctor about all medications you are currently taking as interactions with other drugs may lead to liver toxicity. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function and dose adjustments accordingly.
Does Moniter 250mg Tablet cause any skin reactions?
Some individuals might experience skin reactions while using Moniter 250mg Tablet. There have been rare reports of severe reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other serious hypersensitivity skin reactions associated with this medication. Consulting your physician is crucial before starting this medication. If you notice any type of skin reaction or rash, discontinue the medication immediately and notify your doctor.
Is Moniter 250mg Tablet effective?
Moniter 250mg Tablet is effective as an antifungal agent when used at the prescribed dose and duration by your physician. Never stop taking it even if you experience improvement in your condition, as this could allow the fungus to continue growing and potentially lead to a recurrence or worsening of the infection.
How long do I need to take Moniter 250mg Tablet?
Treatment for Tinea pedis (foot fungal infection), Tinea corporis (ringworm), and Tinea cruris (groin fungal infection) typically lasts around 2 to 4 weeks. The duration may extend up to 6 weeks in some cases, particularly when dealing with nail fungal infections. For fingernail infections, treatment might take between 6 and 12 weeks, while toenail infections could require 12 weeks of therapy. However, the exact duration is determined by your doctor based on the specific type of infection, the location of the infection, and your individual response to treatment.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Moniter 250mg Tablet?
Consumption of caffeinated beverages such as tea and coffee is advised with caution when using Moniter 250mg Tablet. This medication reduces caffeine metabolism by about 19%, leading to increased levels of caffeine in the blood. These elevated caffeine levels can potentially cause side effects like jitteriness, headaches, rapid heartbeat, and restlessness.
