How to use Itrop capsule 100mg?
- The dose and duration depend on the type of infection and are set by the prescribing doctor.
- A common adult dose is 100mg to 200mg once or twice daily, taken with a full meal for better absorption.
- The complete course should be finished even if symptoms improve early.
- Missed doses are simply skipped rather than doubled up at the next dose.
Drug Interactions
- Statins: Combined use raises the risk of muscle toxicity, so doses may need to be adjusted.
- Terfenadine And Similar Antihistamines: This combination can trigger serious heart rhythm problems and is generally avoided.
- Midazolam And Other Benzodiazepines: Itraconazole can increase their sedative effect.
- Rifampicin: This antibiotic reduces itraconazole's effectiveness when taken together.
- Warfarin: The bleeding risk can increase, so clotting levels need closer monitoring.
