Itracab

Itracab 100mg 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 Itracab 100mg 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 Itracab 100mg Capsule without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection.

Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during the treatment.

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

Take the complete course of Itracab 100mg Capsule to avoid drug resistance.
