Frequently asked questions
What is Ultrazole 200mg Capsule used for?
Ultrazole 200mg Capsule is an antifungal medication used to treat infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. It treats conditions such as ringworm, athlete's foot, groin/buttocks infection, persistent nail and toenail fungal infections, candida (yeast) infections of the vagina or mouth, and cryptococcal infections. It is also used to treat histoplasmosis caused by Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Ultrazole 200mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment depends on the severity and type of infection. For example, athlete's foot requires a 30-day course; however, vaginal candidiasis may require 1 day to 3 days depending on prescribed dosage. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and length of treatment.
I am taking Ultrazole 200mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you must continue the full course of Ultrazole 200mg Capsule as stopping prematurely may not completely eradicate the fungal infection. It typically takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to resolve fully because the new nail is formed over time after the fungus is eliminated.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may be monitoring your liver function as a precaution. Ultrazole 200mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage, so if you experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking the medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Ultrazole 200mg Capsule together?
Ultrazole 200mg Capsule can be taken with antacids provided there is sufficient stomach acid. Antacids or medications for heartburn, indigestion, and other stomach problems should be taken 2 hours after taking Ultrazole 200mg Capsule, ideally with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Ultrazole 200mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when fungal strains modify themselves and no longer respond to the medication. This can happen with certain candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). If your doctor prescribes a different antifungal for this type of infection, it may be necessary to discontinue Ultrazole 200mg Capsule as it is less likely to work against these species.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Ultrazole 200mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Ultrazole 200mg Capsule together, but keep a watch out for potential side effects such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any adverse reactions to either medication after taking Ultrazole 200mg Capsule, speak with your doctor who may alter the dose of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Ultrazole 200mg 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 might not prescribe Ultrazole 200mg Capsule for your friend due to potential drug interactions with Dofetilide, which can cause disturbances in the heart's electrical activity and pose a risk to her health.
