Product Overview

Itralase 200 Capsule is part of the antifungal class of medicines. It helps control fungal infections by preventing the growth of fungi and destroying their cell membranes. This medication is used to treat fungal infections affecting the mouth, throat, vagina, skin, fingernails, toenails, and other areas of the body.

You should take this capsule exactly as directed by your doctor. It is recommended to swallow it whole, preferably with food, and at regular intervals to maintain an even level of the medicine in your system. Even if your symptoms improve within a few days, you should continue the treatment until the prescribed course is completed. Stopping the medication too early or missing doses could lead to a return of the infection or development of drug-resistant fungi. If you do not see improvement or if your condition worsens, consult your healthcare provider.

Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, and indigestion. These symptoms usually subside as your body adapts to the medication. However, if you experience severe allergic reactions like a skin rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, seek emergency medical care immediately.

This medicine should not be used during pregnancy unless explicitly advised by your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have heart disease, a weakened immune system, kidney issues, or liver disorders such as jaundice before starting treatment.
