FAQs
What is Itron 200mg Tablet used for?
Itron 200mg Tablet is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. The infections caused could be ringworm infection, infection of the feet, or infection in the groin and buttocks. This medicine also treats persistent infection of fingernails and toenails, persistent candida (yeast) infections of vagina or candida (yeast) infections of the mouth or throat in patients with lower disease resistance. It is also used in the treatment of cryptococcal infection and infections caused by Histoplasma, aspergillus, and Blastomyces.
For how long do I need to take Itron 200mg Tablet?
The dose and length of treatment depends on the type and site of infection and your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Itron 200mg Tablet for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may need to be taken for 30 days, on the other hand, if you are taking it for candidal infection of the vagina, the dose may span from 1 day to 3 days depending on the dosage advised by the doctor.
I am taking Itron 200mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itron 200mg Tablet without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear because after the medicine eliminates the fungus, the new nail takes several months to grow. Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during the treatment.
Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is probably trying to monitor your liver’s functioning. Itron 200mg Tablet may cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Itron 200mg Tablet, you should tell your doctor immediately.
Can I take antacid and Itron 200mg Tablet together?
Itron 200mg Tablet can be utilized 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 about 2 hours after taking Itron 200mg Tablet. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Itron 200mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itron 200mg Tablet?
Sometimes it happens that the fungi get modified in your body and the medicine no longer works. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Itron 200mg Tablet has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Itron 200mg Tablet should not be used for infection caused due to these species. Take the complete course of Itron 200mg Tablet to avoid drug resistance.
I have been on alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itron 200mg Tablet now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itron 200mg Tablet together, but keep a watch on the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Itron 200mg Tablet, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of alprazolam.
My doctor prescribed Itron 200mg Tablet 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 Itron 200mg Tablet to your friend because Itron 200mg Tablet interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful to the patient.
