SyNtraN

SyNtraN 200 Capsule is an antifungal medicine used to treat certain fungal infections affecting the skin, nails, and other parts of the body. It may be prescribed for infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, and fungal nail infections. Your doctor will prescribe this medicine based on the type and severity of your infection.

The duration of treatment with SyNtraN 200 Capsule depends on the type, location, and severity of the fungal infection. Some infections may require treatment for a few days, while others, particularly nail infections or serious fungal infections, may require several weeks or months. Take the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve earlier. Do not stop treatment without consulting your doctor, as the infection may return.

Fungal nail infections often take several months to show visible improvement because healthy nails grow slowly. Even after the fungal infection has been treated, the affected nail must gradually grow out and be replaced by a healthy nail. Fingernails may take several months to regrow, while toenails generally take longer. Continue taking SyNtraN 200 Capsule as prescribed, and consult your doctor if the infection worsens or you are concerned about the lack of improvement.

Your doctor may recommend blood tests to monitor your liver function during treatment with SyNtraN 200 Capsule. This is because SyNtraN 200 Capsule contains itraconazole that can occasionally cause serious liver problems, including liver damage. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience unusual tiredness, loss of appetite, persistent nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Medicines that reduce stomach acidity may decrease the absorption of SyNtraN 200 Capsule and make them less effective. If you are taking an antacid that neutralises stomach acid, take it at least 2 hours after taking SyNtraN 200 Capsule. Other acid-reducing medicines, such as omeprazole or famotidine, may also affect its absorption and require additional precautions. Inform your doctor about any medicines you take for acidity, heartburn, or stomach ulcers so that your treatment can be adjusted appropriately.

Yes, some fungi may develop resistance to SyNtraN 200 Capsule, meaning the medicine may no longer work effectively against them. Resistance has been reported in certain fungal species. If your infection does not improve or returns after treatment, your doctor may recommend tests to identify the fungus and determine which antifungal medicine is suitable. Take SyNtraN 200 Capsule exactly as prescribed and do not change or discontinue treatment without medical advice.

SyNtraN 200 Capsule may increase the amount of alprazolam in your blood by slowing its breakdown in the body. This may increase the risk of side effects such as excessive drowsiness, dizziness, and reduced alertness. Inform your doctor if you are taking alprazolam before starting SyNtraN 200 Capsule, as your doctor may need to adjust your treatment or recommend an alternative. Do not change the dose of either medicine without medical advice.

SyNtraN 200 Capsule should not be taken with dofetilide, a medicine used to treat certain irregular heart rhythms. This medicine can increase the concentration of dofetilide in the blood, which may lead to serious and potentially life-threatening disturbances in heart rhythm. This combination is contraindicated and must be avoided. Always inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking before starting SyNtraN 200 Capsule.

Yes, SyNtraN 200 Capsule may cause or worsen heart failure in some patients because it can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart failure or other heart-related problems before starting treatment. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop shortness of breath, swelling of the feet or ankles, sudden unexplained weight gain, or unusual tiredness. Your doctor will assess whether SyNtraN 200 Capsule is suitable for you based on your medical history and the type of fungal infection.
