Frequently asked questions
What is Nokver 100 Capsule used for?
Nokver 100 Capsule is prescribed to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It is effective in treating ringworm infection, foot infection, or groin and buttocks infection. The medication can also be used for persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, as well as candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also prescribed for cryptococcal infections and those caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Nokver 100 Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection as well as your response to the medication. For instance, when treating athlete's foot (fungal skin infection on the feet and between the toes), the dosage might be taken for 30 days. In contrast, for candidiasis (vaginal yeast) infections, the duration can range from 1 day to 3 days, depending on the prescribed dosage by your doctor.
I am taking Nokver 100 Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not discontinue Nokver 100 Capsule without completing the entire course. Stopping the medication prematurely might lead to incomplete fungal clearance and potential recurrence of the infection. It may take up to six to nine months for nail lesions to disappear due to new nail growth after the medication eliminates the fungus. Continue with the prescribed medication as directed by your doctor.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor might be assessing your liver function while on Nokver 100 Capsule. This medication can occasionally cause serious liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Nokver 100 Capsule, immediately inform your healthcare provider.
Can I take antacid and Nokver 100 Capsule together?
Nokver 100 Capsule can be taken when there is adequate acid in the stomach. Medications for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize stomach acid. Therefore, you should wait at least two hours after taking Nokver 100 Capsule to take antacids or similar medications.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Nokver 100 Capsule?
Sometimes fungi can modify themselves in the body and become resistant to medication. This phenomenon is known as drug resistance. Although resistance to Nokver 100 Capsule has been reported in some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis), it's essential to complete the entire course of treatment as prescribed. It's important to take the full course of Nokver 100 Capsule to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Nokver 100 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Nokver 100 Capsule together, but keep an eye out for potential side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any unwanted side effects arise after starting Nokver 100 Capsule, consult with your doctor who will potentially adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Nokver 100 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 Nokver 100 Capsule to your friend because it can interact with dofetilide, a drug used to manage irregular heartbeats. This interaction may cause disturbances in the electrical activity of the heart and could pose a risk to patient health.
