Frequently asked questions
Can Phytes 250mg Tablet be safe for use in patients with liver cirrhosis?
Oral intake of Phytes 250mg Tablet is not recommended in patients with chronic or active liver disease. Before starting treatment, a doctor may order a liver function test to assess the patient's liver health. This is because the medication undergoes metabolism by liver enzymes and any impairment in liver function can lead to elevated drug levels in the blood, potentially resulting in increased side effects and toxicity. Therefore, it is crucial to disclose any pre-existing liver disease or cirrhosis to your doctor. Furthermore, inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, as a combination with other drugs may increase the risk of liver toxicity. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) and potentially adjust the dosage based on these results.
Does Phytes 250mg Tablet cause any skin reactions?
Rare cases of sensitive individuals experiencing skin reactions while using Phytes 250mg Tablet have been reported. Reports exist of serious skin/hypersensitivity reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other severe reactions. Therefore, do not begin this medication without consulting your doctor. In case any type of skin reaction or rash develops, stop taking the medication immediately and report it to the physician.
Is Phytes 250mg Tablet effective?
Phytes 250mg Tablet is effective in combating fungal infections when used as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop treatment even if you see improvement in your condition. If the treatment is prematurely discontinued, the fungus may continue to proliferate and the infection could return or worsen.
How long do I need to take Phytes 250mg Tablet?
The usual duration of treatment for Tinea pedis (fungal infection in the foot), Tinea corporis (ringworm), and Tinea cruris (fungal infection in the groin) is typically about 2 to 4 weeks. In some cases, treatment may extend up to 6 weeks. For fungal infections affecting nails, the duration of therapy often spans from 6 to 12 weeks. For fingernail infections, it might be as long as six weeks, while toenail infections could last for 12 weeks. The specific duration is determined by your doctor based on the type of infection, the affected body site, and how you respond to treatment.
Can I drink tea or coffee while taking Phytes 250mg Tablet?
You should exercise caution when consuming caffeinated beverages like tea or coffee while undergoing treatment with Phytes 250mg Tablet.
