IT Lock 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.

Q. For how long do I need to take IT Lock 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 IT Lock 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.
Q. I am taking IT Lock 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 IT Lock 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.
Q. Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor is probably trying to monitor your liver’s functioning. IT Lock 200mg Tablet may cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking IT Lock 200mg Tablet, you should tell your doctor immediately.
Q. Can I take antacid and IT Lock 200mg Tablet together?
IT Lock 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 IT Lock 200mg Tablet. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take IT Lock 200mg Tablet capsules with a drink of cola.
Q. What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to IT Lock 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 IT Lock 200mg Tablet has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata, and tropicalis). IT Lock 200mg Tablet should not be used for infection caused due to these species. Take the complete course of IT Lock 200mg Tablet to avoid drug resistance.

Q. My doctor prescribed IT Lock 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 IT Lock 200mg Tablet to your friend because IT Lock 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.
