Frequently asked questions
What is Zitran SB 65mg Capsule used for?
Zitran SB 65mg Capsule is a medication prescribed for the treatment of fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. These infections can include ringworm, foot infection, groin/buttock infections, persistent nail infections (fingernails and toenails), candidiasis (yeast) infections of the vagina, mouth, or throat in individuals with compromised immune system. It's also used for treatment of cryptococcal infections and histoplasmosis, aspergillosis, and blastomycosis.
For how long do I need to take Zitran SB 65mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Zitran SB 65mg Capsule depends on the type, site, and severity of infection. For example, athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes) might require a dosage for 30 days, while candidiasis (yeast) infections in the vagina may range from one day to three days depending on the doctor's advice.
I am taking Zitran SB 65mg Capsule for nail infection but don’t seem to see any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not discontinue your medication without completing the entire course prescribed by your doctor. This will help ensure complete elimination of the fungus, which can take several months to resolve as new nails grow. Please be patient if you don’t see immediate improvement during treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is likely monitoring your liver function. Zitran SB 65mg Capsule can potentially lead to serious liver damage. If you experience symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Zitran SB 65mg Capsule, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Zitran SB 65mg Capsule together?
Zitran SB 65mg Capsule can be taken by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn, or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, take antacids or any such medicine approximately two hours after taking Zitran SB 65mg Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medications that stop the production of stomach acid), take Zitran SB 65mg Capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Zitran SB 65mg Capsule?
Drug resistance can occur when the fungi in your body become modified, making the medication ineffective. Resistance has been reported for some Candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). You should not use Zitran SB 65mg Capsule for these species. It's essential to complete the prescribed course of Zitran SB 65mg Capsule to avoid resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start taking Zitran SB 65mg Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Zitran SB 65mg Capsule together, but monitor potential side effects of Alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If these side effects arise after taking Zitran SB 65mg Capsule, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dosage of Alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Zitran SB 65mg 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 may not prescribe Zitran SB 65mg Capsule for your friend because it can interfere with the working of dofetilide. This interference could lead to disturbances in heart rhythm, which might be harmful.
