Frequently asked questions
What is Tinitraz 200 Capsule used for?
Tinitraz 200 Capsule is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It can treat ringworm infection, foot infection, or groin and buttocks infections. Additionally, it treats persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, persistent Candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, or Candida (yeast) infections of the mouth or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also used for treatment of cryptococcal infection and fungal infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Tinitraz 200 Capsule?
The dose and duration of treatment depend on the type and site of infection, as well as your response to the medication. For example, if you are taking Tinitraz 200 Capsule for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may need to be taken for 30 days. On the other hand, if you are treating candidal infections of the vagina, the dose can span from 1 day to 3 days depending on the dosage advised by your doctor.
I am taking Tinitraz 200 Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Tinitraz 200 Capsule without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear because after the medication eliminates the fungus, the new nail takes several months to grow. Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during the treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may be checking your liver function to monitor for potential side effects of Tinitraz 200 Capsule. Tinitraz 200 Capsule can cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Tinitraz 200 Capsule, please notify your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Tinitraz 200 Capsule together?
Tinitraz 200 Capsule can be used by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or any such medicine about two hours after taking Tinitraz 200 Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Tinitraz 200 Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Tinitraz 200 Capsule?
Drug resistance can occur when the fungi in your body change over time. This means the medicine no longer works as well against the fungus. Resistance to Tinitraz 200 Capsule has been reported with some Candida species (Krusei, Glabrata, and Tropicalis). Tinitraz 200 Capsule should not be used for infection caused due to these species. It is important to take the complete course of Tinitraz 200 Capsule to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Tinitraz 200 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Tinitraz 200 Capsule together, but keep a watch on the side effects of Alprazolam like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Tinitraz 200 Capsule, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Tinitraz 200 Capsule to me 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 Tinitraz 200 Capsule to your friend because Tinitraz 200 Capsule can interfere with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which could be harmful to the patient.
