Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule is indicated for the treatment of fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum, such as ringworm infection, foot or groin/buttocks infections. It also treats persistent nail and toenail fungus, as well as candidiasis (yeast) in the vagina, mouth, or throat. The drug is utilized to treat cryptococcal infection, Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces infections.
How long do I need to take Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the type, site, and response to treatment. For example, athlete's foot (skin infection on feet and between toes) might require a course lasting 30 days, while treatment for vaginal candidiasis could span from 1 day to 3 days based on dosage prescribed by the doctor.
I am taking Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule for nail infection but there is no improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must not discontinue Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule without completing the full course of treatment. Stopping the medication prematurely might not fully eradicate the fungal infection. It usually takes 6 to 9 months for nail lesions to disappear as new nails grow after eliminating the fungus.
Why did my doctor ask me to have blood tests done?
Blood tests may be requested by your doctor to monitor liver function. Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule can cause liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule together?
Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule can be used by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications for heartburn, indigestion, or stomach ulcers work to neutralize stomach acid. Therefore, take antacids or similar medications approximately 2 hours after taking Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule. It may also be taken with cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible for me to develop resistance to Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule?
Drug resistance can occur when the fungus changes in your body, rendering the medication ineffective. This is known as drug resistance. Resistance to Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule has been reported with certain Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). The medication should not be used for infections caused by these species.
My doctor prescribed Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection. Why is that?

If such side effects arise after starting Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule, discuss this with your doctor for dosage adjustments.
Why was Slayfungi-IT 200 Capsule not prescribed to my friend who had a similar fungal infection?
