Frequently asked questions
What is Truit 200mg Tablet used for?
Truit 200mg Tablet is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can cause ringworm, foot infections, or groin/buttock infections. It's also used to treat persistent infections in fingernails and toenails, as well as persistent yeast infections of the vagina (candidiasis), mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also used for treatment of cryptococcal infection, and other fungal infections caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Truit 200mg Tablet?
The length of treatment depends on the type and location of the infection. For athlete's foot (skin infection of the feet and between toes), treatment may last for 30 days. For vaginal candidiasis, treatment can range from 1 to 3 days depending on the dosage recommended by your doctor.
I am taking Truit 200mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Truit 200mg Tablet without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. Nail lesions usually take 6-9 months to disappear because after the medicine eliminates the fungus, new nails grow over several months. Don't worry if you don't see immediate improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor might be monitoring your liver's function as Truit 200mg Tablet can cause serious liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking this medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Truit 200mg Tablet together?
Truit 200mg Tablet can be used when 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 similar medications 2 hours after taking Truit 200mg Tablet. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Truit 200mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Truit 200mg Tablet?
Drug resistance occurs when fungi in your body change their structure, so the medicine no longer works. This can happen with some candida species ( krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Truit 200mg Tablet should not be used for infections caused by these species. It's best to take the full course of Truit 200mg Tablet to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Truit 200mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can take both alprazolam and Truit 200mg Tablet together, but be aware of potential side effects from alprazolam, like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these side effects appear after taking Truit 200mg Tablet, consult your doctor, who may adjust your alprazolam dosage.
My doctor prescribed Truit 200mg 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 Truit 200mg Tablet for your friend because Truit 200mg Tablet interferes with the action of dofetilide, which can cause disturbances in heart electrical activity, which may be harmful to patients.
