I am taking Nixitral ED 65 Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Nixitral ED 65 Capsule without first consulting your doctor. Stopping medication prematurely can result in incomplete fungal eradication, potentially leading to the recurrence of the infection. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and complete the entire course as directed by your healthcare professional.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Blood tests are usually ordered by your doctor to assess your liver function while taking Nixitral ED 65 Capsule. This is because this medication can potentially cause liver damage and monitoring liver enzymes provides valuable insights into the medication's impact on your body.
Can I take antacids and Nixitral ED 65 Capsule together?
Nixitral ED 65 Capsule is effective when there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines used to treat stomach ulcers, heartburn or indigestion may interfere with its action. It's best to wait at least two hours after taking Nixitral ED 65 Capsule before taking antacids or similar medications.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Nixitral ED 65 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in the body change their characteristics, making the medication ineffective. This can occur with some Candida species ( krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Nixitral ED 65 Capsule should not be used for fungal infections caused by these species. It's crucial to take the full course of medication as prescribed to prevent drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Nixitral ED 65 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Nixitral ED 65 Capsule together. However, keep an eye out for any side effects from the alprazolam medication such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these occur after taking Nixitral ED 65 Capsule, consult your doctor. They may adjust your alprazolam dosage to minimize any potential interactions.
My doctor prescribed Nixitral ED 65 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 likely prescribed Nixitral ED 65 Capsule to you based on your individual needs and not your friend's case. Dofetilide, which your friend was taking, interferes with the functioning of Nixitral ED 65 Capsule. This interference can lead to disturbances in your heart's electrical activity, which might be harmful.
