Itraconazole

Q. What is Candirap 100mg Capsule used for?
Candirap 100mg 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.
Q. How long do I need to take Candirap 100mg Capsule?
The duration of treatment with Candirap 100mg 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.
Q. Why is my nail infection not improving even after taking Candirap 100mg Capsule?
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 Candirap 100mg Capsule as prescribed, and consult your doctor if the infection worsens or you are concerned about the lack of improvement.

Q. Why has my doctor recommended blood tests while taking Candirap 100mg Capsule?
Your doctor may recommend blood tests to monitor your liver function during treatment with Candirap 100mg Capsule. This is because Candirap 100mg 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.
Q. Can I take antacids or acidity medicines with Candirap 100mg Capsule?
Medicines that reduce stomach acidity may decrease the absorption of Candirap 100mg Capsule and make them less effective. If you are taking an antacid that neutralises stomach acid, take it at least 2 hours after taking Candirap 100mg 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.
Q. Can fungi become resistant to Candirap 100mg Capsule?
Yes, some fungi may develop resistance to Candirap 100mg 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 Candirap 100mg Capsule exactly as prescribed and do not change or discontinue treatment without medical advice.
Q. Can I take Candirap 100mg Capsule if I am already taking alprazolam?
Candirap 100mg Capsule may increase the amount of alprazolam in your blood by slowing its breakdown in the body.

Inform your doctor if you are taking alprazolam before starting Candirap 100mg 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.
Q. Why should Candirap 100mg Capsule not be taken with dofetilide?
Candirap 100mg Capsule should not be taken with dofetilide, a medicine used to treat certain irregular heart rhythms.

This combination is contraindicated and must be avoided. Always inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking before starting Candirap 100mg Capsule.
Q. Can Candirap 100mg Capsule cause heart problems?

Your doctor will assess whether Candirap 100mg Capsule is suitable for you based on your medical history and the type of fungal infection.
