Q. For how long do I need to take Itrostred 1% Soap?
The dose and length of treatment will depend on the type and site of infection and your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Itrostred 1% Soap 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. While, on the other hand, if you are taking it for candidal infection of vagina, the dose may take about 1 to 3 3 days depending on the dosage advised by the doctor.
Q. I am taking Itrostred 1% Soap for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Itrostred 1% Soap without completing the entire course. This is because if you stop the medication then your fungal infection may not get completely cured. It usually takes about 6-9 months for the nail lesions to get cured and after that the new nail also takes several months to grow. Therefore, do not worry if you do not see any improvement during the treatment.
Q. What precautions do I need to take while using Itrostred 1% Soap?
Be careful not to get Itrostred 1% Soap into your eyes or mouth. If you happen to get it in your eyes, rinse off with plenty of water immediately and contact your doctor. You must not use Itrostred 1% Soap if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Let your doctor know if you notice any allergic reaction while using it for the first time. Inform your doctor if you are taking any medicines regularly to prevent any allergic reaction with other medicines. Do not cover the area being treated with Itrostred 1% Soap with a bandage, as this may increase absorption of this medicine and increase the side effects. Do not use more than what is recommended to relieve your symptoms faster. Using more than what is advised will only increase the side effects. Also, it is advised to inform your doctor if you are planning to conceive. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should use Itrostred 1% Soap only if prescribed by the doctor.
Q. For how long should I apply Itrostred 1% Soap? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?
The duration of treatment with Itrostred 1% Soap depends on the type of infection. In general, the treatment for tinea infection is advised for 1 month and candida infection for at least 15 days. Do not stop the treatment on your own even if you feel better because the infection may come back as it takes some time to kill the fungus.
Q. Is Itrostred 1% Soap safe to use in children?
Itrostred 1% Soap is safe for children only if taken as directed by the doctor. It should be given to children in the correct dose only for the prescribed length of time. Minor side effects may occur but usually, they are not bothersome. However, if you develop a burning sensation, redness, and itching (which is severe in nature), stop the medicine and contact your doctor.
Q. Are there any measures that should be taken to help a faster recovery?
Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry but avoid excessive rubbing. You may have the urge to scratch because of itchiness but avoid scratching as it will damage the surface of the skin and cause the infection to spread further. Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
Q. Does Itrostred 1% Soap affect contraception?
Itrostred 1% Soap may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, like diaphragms and condoms. If you are using the cream on the vulva or penis, it is advised to use alternative methods of contraception for at least 5 days after using Itrostred 1% Soap.
Q. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?
The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment. However, other signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. Do not stop applying this medicine before the duration advised by your doctor, even if you feel better.
Q. What should I do if I forget to use Itrostred 1% Soap?

Q. What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Itrostred 1% Soap?
Drug resistance is a condition when the fungi get modified in your body and the medicine is not able to work.

Q. My doctor prescribed Itrostred 1% Soap 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 Itrostred 1% Soap to your friend because Itrostred 1% Soap interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful for the patient.
