Frequently asked questions
What is Tyzole 100mg Tablet used for?
Tyzole 100mg Tablet is a prescription medication indicated for treating fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These include ringworm infection, skin infections of the feet, infections in the groin and buttocks, persistent infections of fingernails and toenails, candidal (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth/throat in patients with lower disease resistance, cryptococcal infection, and Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces infections.
How long do I need to take Tyzole 100mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection and your response to therapy. For example, if you're treating athlete's foot (fungal skin infection of the feet and between toes), you might need treatment for 30 days. However, for candidal infections in the vagina, the duration may range from one day to three days, depending on the dosage prescribed by your doctor.
I'm experiencing no improvement with Tyzole 100mg Tablet despite taking it for a nail infection. Should I stop?
No, you should not discontinue taking Tyzole 100mg Tablet without completing the entire course prescribed by your doctor. Stopping treatment prematurely may not fully resolve the fungal infection, and lasting effects can take months to manifest as new nail growth.
Why did my doctor request a blood test?
The blood test is likely ordered to assess your liver function. Tyzole 100mg Tablet has the potential for causing serious liver damage. If you experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking this medication, immediately inform your doctor.
Can I take antacids and Tyzole 100mg Tablet together?
Tyzole 100mg Tablet can be taken by the body when there is sufficient acid present in the stomach. Antacids or medications designed to reduce stomach acid neutralization should be taken approximately two hours after taking Tyzole 100mg Tablets, with cola as a beverage if necessary.
What is drug resistance and can it happen with Tyzole 100mg Tablet?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body mutate, rendering the medication ineffective. Resistance to Tyzole 100mg Tablet has been reported for certain Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Therefore, if you have infections caused by these species, you should not use Tyzole 100mg Tablet and consult with your doctor to determine an alternative treatment plan.
I'm already on alprazolam. Is it safe to take Tyzole 100mg Tablet along with this?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Tyzole 100mg Tablet together. However, pay close attention to the side effects of Alprazolam, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these side effects appear after taking Tyzole 100mg Tablets, consult your doctor who will modify your Alprazolam dosage.
My doctor prescribed Tyzole 100mg Tablet for me but not my friend despite similar fungal infections. Why is that?
Your doctor did not prescribe Tyzole 100mg Tablet to your friend because it may interfere with dofetilide's function. This interference could lead to disturbed heart electrical activity, potentially posing a health risk to your friend.
