How long do I need to take Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet?
The dose and duration of treatment depend on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to treatment. For example, if you are taking Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet for athlete’s foot (fungal skin infection), the dose may need to be taken for 30 days; however, if you are taking it for candidal infection of the vagina, the dosage may span from one day to three days depending on the doctor's advice.
I am taking Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet for a nail infection but don’t see any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must not stop taking Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet without completing the entire course. This is because stopping treatment prematurely may not completely cure the fungal infection, and it often takes several months for nail lesions to clear. Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is probably trying to monitor your liver's functioning. Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet may cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet, you should immediately inform your doctor.
Can I take antacids and Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet together?
Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet can be used by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or such medication about two hours after taking Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet?
Drug resistance happens when fungi alter their structure in the body, making the medication ineffective. Some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis) have shown drug resistance to Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet. Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet should not be used for infections caused by these species. Taking a complete course of Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet helps prevent resistance.

Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet together, but keep an eye out for side effects of Alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any side effects appear after taking Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet, speak to your doctor who might modify the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Oxtrazole 100mg Tablet to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
