Composition:
ITRACONAZOLE-200MG
Uses:
Fungal infections
Medicinal Benefits:
Etcon 200mg Tablet is an antifungal used to treat fungal infections of the mouth, throat, toenails, fingernails or lungs. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. Etcon 200mg Tablet inhibits the production of ergosterol (a main component of cell membranes of fungi). Thereby, weakens and damages the fungal cell membranes causing the main components of fungal cells to leak out. Thus, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.
You are not recommended to take Etcon 200mg Tablet with simvastatin as co-administration of these two medicines may cause muscle weakness, unexplained muscle pain or tenderness, dark coloured urine, fever or flu symptoms. However, please consult a doctor before using Etcon 200mg Tablet with other medicines.
No, Etcon 200mg Tablet is not recommended for use during pregnancy as it may cause harm to the fetus. Also, it is advised to use effective contraceptive measures while taking Etcon 200mg Tablet and after 2 months of stopping treatment with Etcon 200mg Tablet. However, please inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding before taking Etcon 200mg Tablet.
Etcon 200mg Tablet may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss in some people. It is not necessary for everyone taking Etcon 200mg Tablet to experience this adverse effect. However, if you notice any changes in hearing, stop taking Etcon 200mg Tablet and consult a doctor immediately.
You are advised to take antacids (drugs used to reduce acid in the stomach) such as omeprazole, pantoprazole and esomeprazole at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after taking Etcon 200mg Tablet as co-administration of these medicines at the same time may reduce the effectiveness of Etcon 200mg Tablet because antacids decrease the absorption and blood levels of Etcon 200mg Tablet. However, please consult a doctor before taking other medicines with Etcon 200mg Tablet.
Yes, fungal infection is a contagious skin condition which spreads from one person to another through direct skin to skin contact or by contact with contaminated soil or surfaces and infected animals.
