Frequently asked questions
What is Sitrac 100mg Capsule used for?
Sitrac 100mg Capsule is indicated for treating fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum, including ringworm infection, foot infection, groin/buttock infection. It's also used to treat persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, persistent candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth. This medication can be used for treating cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Sitrac 100mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment varies based on the type and location of infection, individual response, and whether it's a mild or severe case. For example, treating athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet) might require 30 days. However, for candidiasis infections (vaginal yeast infections), treatment might range from one to three days depending on your doctor's prescribed dosage.
I am taking Sitrac 100mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must not stop taking Sitrac 100mg Capsule without completing the entire course. Stopping prematurely could result in incomplete fungal cure and a higher chance of recurring infections. It usually takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear due to the medication's impact on fungus elimination, with new nails then needing several months to grow.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely checking your liver function. Sitrac 100mg Capsule can cause significant liver damage if not monitored. If you experience symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Sitrac 100mg Capsule, it's crucial to notify your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Sitrac 100mg Capsule together?
Sitrac 100mg Capsule can be used effectively by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion work by neutralizing stomach acid. Therefore, it's recommended to take antacids or similar medications approximately two hours after taking Sitrac 100mg Capsule. If you are using antacids (medications that stop acid production), consider taking Sitrac 100mg Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Sitrac 100mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi modify themselves in your body, making the medication ineffective. Resistance to Sitrac 100mg Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). For these fungal infections, you must not use Sitrac 100mg Capsule; your doctor will suggest an alternative treatment.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Sitrac 100mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Sitrac 100mg Capsule together, but be aware of potential side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness from the alprazolam. If you notice any unusual reactions after taking Sitrac 100mg Capsule, please discuss it with your doctor. They may adjust the dosage of alprazolam to minimize potential interactions.
My doctor prescribed Sitrac 100mg Capsule but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
The reason your doctor prescribed Sitrac 100mg Capsule for you, but not for your friend, is that it interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can lead to altered heart electrical activity, potentially posing a risk to your health.
