Frequently asked questions
What is Troz 100mg Tablet used for?
Troz 100mg Tablet is prescribed for fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can include ringworm, foot infection, groin or buttock infections, persistent nail and toenail infections, and candida (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lowered disease resistance. It also treats cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Troz 100mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection, as well as your individual response. For athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), a dose may be needed for 30 days. However, it can span from 1 day to 3 days depending on dosage prescribed by the doctor.
I am taking Troz 100mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement; can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Troz 100mg Tablet without completing the full course because stopping before completion may not fully cure the fungal infection. It typically takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as the new nails grow after the medicine eliminates the fungus. While waiting for improvement, do not worry if there is no noticeable change in your condition.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may request a blood test to monitor liver function as Troz 100mg Tablet can cause serious liver damage. If you develop symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Troz 100mg Tablet, notify your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Troz 100mg Tablet together?
Troz 100mg Tablet can be utilized 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, you should take antacids or similar medications about 2 hours after taking Troz 100mg Tablet. If you are taking antacid (medications that stop the production of stomach acid), take Troz 100mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Troz 100mg Tablet?
Drug resistance can occur when the fungi in your body modify, making the medication ineffective. This phenomenon has been observed with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). If you experience this form of fungal resistance, Troz 100mg Tablet should not be used for infection caused by these species. It is crucial to complete the full course of treatment to prevent drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time; is it okay if I start Troz 100mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can safely take both Alprazolam and Troz 100mg Tablet together. However, watch out for side effects like lightheadedness or drowsiness that may occur with Alprazolam. If these side effects appear after taking Troz 100mg Tablet, consult your doctor, who will likely adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Troz 100mg Tablet 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 Troz 100mg Tablet for your friend due to potential interference with dofetilide's function. This interference can lead to disrupted heart electrical activity, potentially harmful to the patient.
