I am taking Canditral 200 Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?

expand_more

No, you should not stop taking Canditral 200 Capsule 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.

Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?

expand_more

Your doctor may have prescribed blood tests to monitor your liver’s functioning. This is because the use of Canditral 200 Capsule may cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine or abdominal pain while taking Canditral 200 Capsule, immediately inform your doctor.
