For how long do I need to take Unimyco 200 Capsule?

I am taking Unimyco 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 Unimyco 200 Capsule without completing the entire course of treatment. It is essential to complete the full treatment to ensure that the fungal infection is fully cured. It may take several months for the nail lesions to disappear, as the new nail growth takes time to occur. Do not discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor has likely requested blood tests to monitor your liver function, as Unimyco 200 Capsule may cause serious liver damage. If you experience any symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Unimyco 200 Capsule, you should inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Unimyco 200 Capsule together?
Unimyco 200 Capsule can be taken with antacids, but it is recommended to take antacids or medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion about 2 hours after taking Unimyco 200 Capsule. If you are taking antacids that stop the production of stomach acid, take Unimyco 200 Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Unimyco 200 Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body adapt and become resistant to the medication.

I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Unimyco 200 Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Unimyco 200 Capsule together, but monitor the side effects of Alprazolam, such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any side effects after taking Unimyco 200 Capsule, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dose of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Unimyco 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 Unimyco 200 Capsule to your friend because Unimyco 200 Capsule can interfere with the working of dofetilide, which can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, potentially harming the patient.
