The duration of treatment depends on the type and severity of the infection. Your doctor may prescribe a course of treatment that ranges from 30 days for athlete's foot to several months for nail fungus, which typically takes around 6-9 months to clear.
I am taking Seazole 200 Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
It is essential to complete the full course of treatment as directed by your doctor to ensure that the fungal infection is fully cleared. Stopping treatment prematurely can lead to incomplete clearance, prolonging the recovery time.

Can I take antacid and Seazole 200 Capsule together?

My doctor prescribed Seazole 200 Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
