Frequently asked questions
What is Ritra 100mg Capsule used for?
Ritra 100mg Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. The infections can include ringworm infection, foot infection, or groin and buttocks infections. It also treats persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, as well as candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance. Additionally, it is used for the treatment of cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Ritra 100mg Capsule?
The dose and duration of treatment depend on the type and site of the infection, and your individual response to therapy. For example, for athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may require 30 days of administration. However, if you are treating candidiasis of the vagina, the treatment duration might span from one day to three days depending on the doctor’s dosage recommendation.
I am taking Ritra 100mg Capsule for a nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Ritra 100mg Capsule without completing the entire course, as this could prevent complete fungal eradication. It usually takes approximately six to nine months for nail lesions to disappear because after the medication eliminates the fungus, new nails take several months to grow. Keep in mind that if you do not see any improvement during treatment, it is normal.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may have ordered blood tests to monitor your liver function because Ritra 100mg Capsule can potentially cause serious liver damage. If you develop symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Ritra 100mg Capsule, it's crucial that you inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Ritra 100mg Capsule together?
Ritra 100mg Capsule can be taken by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for heartburn, indigestion, or stomach ulcers neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or any such medicine about two hours after taking Ritra 100mg Capsule. If you're taking antacids (medications that stop the production of stomach acid), please consume them with a glass of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Ritra 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance can occur when fungal cells in your body change their nature, making the medication ineffective. This process is called drug resistance. It has been reported that Ritra 100mg Capsule may be less effective against certain candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Therefore, if your infection is caused by these species, Ritra 100mg Capsule should not be used.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Ritra 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Ritra 100mg Capsule together, but keep an eye out for side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any side effects after taking Ritra 100mg Capsule, speak to your doctor, who will possibly adjust the dosage of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Ritra 100mg Capsule 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 Ritra 100mg Capsule to your friend because it interacts with dofetilide, which interferes with the heart's electrical activity and can be harmful.
