Frequently asked questions
What is Raycon 200mg Capsule used for?
Raycon 200mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. The infections caused can be ringworm, foot infection, or groin/buttocks infection. This medicine also treats persistent nail and toenail infections, persistent yeast (Candida) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also used in the treatment of cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
How long do I need to take Raycon 200mg Capsule?
The dose and length of treatment depend on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Raycon 200mg Capsule for athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dosage may need to be taken for 30 days. On the other hand, for candidal infections of the vagina, the dosage could range from 1 day to 3 days depending on the prescribed dose by your doctor.
I am taking Raycon 200mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Raycon 200mg Capsule without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear because after the medication eliminates the fungus, new nail takes several months to grow. 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 likely monitoring your liver's function. Raycon 200mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage, so it is important to report any sudden symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain if you are experiencing them while taking this medication.
Can I take antacid and Raycon 200mg Capsule together?
Raycon 200mg Capsule can be taken 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 similar medicines about two hours after taking Raycon 200mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Raycon 200mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Raycon 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance happens when the fungi in your body modify and become resistant to the medication. This makes the medication ineffective. There have been reported cases of resistance to Raycon 200mg Capsule with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). It's important to avoid using Raycon 200mg Capsule for infections caused by these species and follow a complete course of treatment.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Raycon 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Raycon 200mg Capsule together, but keep a close eye out for side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If any side effects appear after taking Raycon 200mg Capsule, talk to your doctor who will adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Raycon 200mg 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 Raycon 200mg Capsule to your friend because it interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity in the heart, which may be harmful to the patient.
