I am taking Sporden 200mg Tablet for nail infection but there doesn’t seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Sporden 200mg Tablet without finishing the full course. This is crucial because stopping early may not completely eliminate the fungal infection, and new nails may take several months to grow after treatment.

What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Sporden 200mg Tablet?

Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Sporden 200mg Tablet together. However, be mindful of potential side effects from Alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these occur after taking Sporden 200mg Tablet, discuss it with your doctor who will adjust the dose of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Sporden 200mg Tablet to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is this so?
