Frequently asked questions
What is Zitran SB 130mg Capsule used for?
Zitran SB 130mg Capsule is a medication used to treat various fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These include ringworm, skin infections of the feet, groin and buttocks, persistent nail and toenail infections, candidiasis (yeast) in the vagina or mouth, cryptococcal infection, and histoplasmosis, aspergillosis, and blastomycosis.
For how long do I need to take Zitran SB 130mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Zitran SB 130mg Capsule depends on the specific infection, its location, and your individual response. For example, for athlete's foot (skin infection of the feet), it may require treatment for 30 days, whereas for vaginal candidiasis, treatment might be between 1 day and 3 days depending on the prescribed dosage by your doctor.
I am taking Zitran SB 130mg Capsule for nail infection but there doesn't seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
You should not stop taking Zitran SB 130mg Capsule without completing the entire course as stopping early might not completely cure the fungal infection. It typically takes 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear as new nails grow after the medicine eliminates the fungus. Continue with the prescribed dosage and do not worry if you don't see immediate improvement.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor might request blood tests to monitor your liver function. Zitran SB 130mg Capsule can potentially cause liver damage, so it's important to inform your doctor immediately if you experience any signs like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain.
Can I take antacid and Zitran SB 130mg Capsule together?
Zitran SB 130mg Capsule can be utilized effectively when there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medications like antacids, heartburn remedies, or indigestion medicines neutralize acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, it's recommended to take these medications at least 2 hours after taking Zitran SB 130mg Capsule with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Zitran SB 130mg Capsule?
Drug resistance occurs when the fungi within your body alter their structure and become immune to the effects of Zitran SB 130mg Capsule. This alteration leads to a decreased effectiveness of the medication, making it challenging to treat the infection. Drug resistance has been reported with some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Please note that if your doctor prescribes Zitran SB 130mg Capsule for an infection caused by these Candida species, do not use it.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Zitran SB 130mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Zitran SB 130mg Capsule together. However, be cautious of the potential side effects of Alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience any unusual side effects after taking Zitran SB 130mg Capsule, discuss them with your doctor who may need to adjust your Alprazolam dosage.
My doctor prescribed Zitran SB 130mg Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection. Why is it so?
Your doctor might have prescribed a different medication for your friend due to potential drug interactions with dofetilide, which can interfere with the working of Zitran SB 130mg Capsule and potentially lead to disturbances in heart electrical activity.
