Frequently asked questions
What is Vatra 100mg Tablet used for?
Vatra 100mg Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat certain fungal infections. It is effective against Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum, which cause infections like ringworm, athlete's foot, and infection of the feet, groin, and buttocks. It also treats persistent fungal infections in fingernails and toenails, as well as candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is prescribed for cryptococcal infections and Histoplasma, Aspergillus, and Blastomyces infections.
For how long do I need to take Vatra 100mg Tablet?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and site of infection as well as your response to the medication. Treatment for athlete's foot typically requires taking Vatra 100mg Tablet for 30 days, whereas treatment for candidiasis of the vagina can span from one day to three days based on the doctor's advice.
I am taking Vatra 100mg Tablet for a nail infection but don't see any improvement, can I stop taking it?
No, you must not discontinue taking Vatra 100mg Tablet without completing the entire course. Stopping early may not fully eliminate the fungal infection and could potentially lead to its resurgence. It usually takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to completely disappear as new nails grow. Don't lose hope if there's no immediate improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may request blood tests to monitor the function of your liver. Vatra 100mg Tablet can cause liver damage, so it's essential for your doctor to track its impact on your liver.
Can I take antacid and Vatra 100mg Tablet together?
Vatra 100mg Tablet should be taken with a drink of cola as it can be used by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Antacids or similar medications that neutralize the acidity produced in the stomach may need to be taken at least two hours after taking Vatra 100mg Tablet.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Vatra 100mg Tablet?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi in your body adapt and become less affected by the medication. This is a potential challenge with Vatra 100mg Tablet, as some candida species (Krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis) have shown resistance to it. It's important to remember that Vatra 100mg Tablet should not be used for infections caused by these species. Take the complete course of treatment prescribed to avoid developing resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time, is it okay if I start taking Vatra 100mg Tablet now?
It's generally safe to take both Alprazolam and Vatra 100mg Tablet together as they are not known to interact significantly. However, be aware of potential side effects from alprazolam like lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any adverse reactions after taking Vatra 100mg Tablet, discuss it with your doctor who can adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Vatra 100mg Tablet to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection. Why is that?
Your doctor did not prescribe Vatra 100mg Tablet for your friend because it may interfere with the effectiveness of dofetilide, which they were taking for another condition. This potential interaction could cause disturbances in heart rhythms and thus needs to be carefully managed by a doctor.
