Conafung

Conafung 100 Capsule 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.

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 Conafung 100 Capsule 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.

No, you should not stop taking Conafung 100 Capsule 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.

Your doctor is probably trying to monitor your liver’s functioning. Conafung 100 Capsule may cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking Conafung 100 Capsule, you should tell your doctor immediately.

Conafung 100 Capsule 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 Conafung 100 Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Conafung 100 Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.

Sometimes it happens that the fungi get modified in your body and the medicine no longer works. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Conafung 100 Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). Conafung 100 Capsule should not be used for infection caused due to these species. Take the complete course of Conafung 100 Capsule to avoid drug resistance.

Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Conafung 100 Capsule together, but keep a watch on the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Conafung 100 Capsule, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of alprazolam.

Your doctor did not prescribe Conafung 100 Capsule to your friend because Conafung 100 Capsule interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful to the patient.
