Fungal infections in patients with weakened immune systems
More Information
How long will it take to see results with Canditral?
Results vary depending on the type and severity of infection. For skin infections, you may notice improvement within 1-2 weeks. Nail infections typically take longer, with visible improvement in 3-6 months as healthy nail grows out. Complete nail clearing may take 6-12 months.
Should I take Canditral with food?
Yes, Canditral should always be taken with a full meal to ensure maximum absorption. The acid in your stomach helps dissolve the medication properly. If you take antacids, wait at least 2 hours after taking Canditral.
Can I use Canditral for fungal infections in children?
Canditral is generally not recommended for children under 12 years of age. For older children, your doctor may prescribe it in specific cases with careful monitoring. Always follow your pediatrician's advice.
What side effects might I experience?
Common side effects include mild nausea, stomach discomfort, or headache. These typically resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. If you experience severe side effects such as unusual fatigue, yellowing of the skin/eyes, or severe abdominal pain, contact your doctor immediately.
