Itragrap-Forte Capsule
Prescription Required
Introduction
Itragrap-Forte Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called antifungals. It works by stopping the growth of fungus and is used to treat infections of the mouth, throat, vagina and other parts of the body including fingernails and toenails. It kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane.
Itragrap-Forte Capsule should be taken in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. It should be swallowed whole and can be taken with food. To get the most benefit, take this medicine at evenly spaced times and continue using it until your prescription is finished, even if your symptoms disappear after a few days. If you stop the treatment too early, the infection may return and if you miss doses you can increase your risk of infections that are resistant to further treatment. Tell your doctor if the infection does not get better or if it gets worse.
The most common side effects of this medicine include nausea, common cold, cough, blurred vision, and a problem with menstrual periods. You could ask your doctor about ways of preventing or reducing these effects. Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction like severe skin rash, tingling, difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Do not take it if you are pregnant or could become pregnant unless your doctor has told you to. Talk to your doctor before taking this medicine if you have ever had heart failure, a weak immune system (including HIV/AIDS), kidney problems, or liver problems such as yellow skin (jaundice). This medicine may not be suitable for you. If your course of treatment is for more than a month, your doctor may want to check your liver by testing your blood. This medicine may make you dizzy or cause blurred vision so do not drive or operate machines until it is safe.

FAQs
Q. What is Itragrap-Forte Capsule used for?
Itragrap-Forte 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 feet, or infection in 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 resistance to disease. It is also used in the treatment of cryptococcal infection and infections caused by histoplasma, aspergillus and blastomyces.
Q. For how long do I need to take Itragrap-Forte Capsule?
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 Itragrap-Forte 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 vagina, the dose may span from 1 day to 3 days depending on the dosage advised by the doctor.
Q. What should I do if I skip a dose of Itragrap-Forte Capsule?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the forgotten dose.
Q. I am taking Itragrap-Forte Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itragrap-Forte 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 lesion 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. Itragrap-Forte Capsule may cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine or abdominal pain while taking Itragrap-Forte Capsule, you should tell your doctor immediately.
Q. Can I take antacid and Itragrap-Forte Capsule together?
Itragrap-Forte 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 Itragrap-Forte Capsule. If you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Itragrap-Forte Capsule capsules with a drink of cola.
Q. What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itragrap-Forte Capsule?
Sometimes it happens that the fungi gets modified in your body and the medicine no longer works. This is called drug resistance. Resistance to Itragrap-Forte Capsule has been reported with some candida species (krusei, glabrata and tropicalis). Itragrap-Forte Capsule should not be used for infection caused due to these species. Take the complete course of Itragrap-Forte Capsule to avoid drug resistance.
Q. I have been on Alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Itragrap-Forte Capsule now?
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Itragrap-Forte Capsule together, but keep a watch on the side effects of alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If side effects appear after taking Itragrap-Forte Capsule, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of alprazolam.
Q. My doctor prescribed Itragrap-Forte Capsule 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 Itragrap-Forte Capsule to your friend because Itragrap-Forte Capsule interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful for the patient.
