What is Nixitral ED 130 Capsule used for?
Nixitral ED 130 Capsule is an antifungal medication used to treat a range of fungal infections caused by various dermatophytes, including Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These include ringworm infections, foot infections, groin and buttocks infections, persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat, cryptococcal infection, Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces infections.
For how long do I need to take Nixitral ED 130 Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and severity of the fungal infection, your response to the medication, and the advice of your doctor. For example, athlete's foot (ringworm) might require a course of 30 days, while vaginal candidiasis might need treatment for 1 day to 3 days based on the doctor's prescribed dosage.
I am taking Nixitral ED 130 Capsule for nail infection but there is no improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not discontinue Nixitral ED 130 Capsule without completing the prescribed treatment course as this might not fully eliminate the fungal infection. It may take up to six to nine months for nail lesions to completely disappear because, even after the medication eliminates the fungus, new nails grow over time. Do not worry if you don't see an immediate improvement in your symptoms during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may be monitoring your liver function due to the potential for Nixitral ED 130 Capsule to cause liver damage.

Can I take antacid and Nixitral ED 130 Capsule together?

What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Nixitral ED 130 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungus in your body changes to make the medication ineffective. This is common for certain Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis) that might require a different antifungal medication. To avoid this, it's essential to complete the prescribed course of Nixitral ED 130 Capsule as directed by your doctor.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Nixitral ED 130 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both alprazolam and Nixitral ED 130 Capsule together, however, monitor for possible side effects of alprazolam, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these symptoms occur after taking Nixitral ED 130 Capsule, discuss this with your doctor to adjust the dosage of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Nixitral ED 130 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 Nixitral ED 130 Capsule for your friend due to the potential for drug-drug interaction with dofetilide. This combination can cause harmful effects on your heart's electrical system.
