I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection that's been bothering me for about 4 years now and I'm also overweight. I've heard about a medication called Itaspor that might help with antifungal infections. Do you think it could be effective for my situation?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Itaspor (Itraconazole) is a well-established antifungal medication, effective against various fungal infections, including:
- Dermatophyte infections (e.g., ringworm, athlete's foot)
- Candidiasis (e.g., thrush, vaginal yeast infections)
- Aspergillosis
However, considering your 4-year history of fungal infections and being overweight, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the best course of treatment.
Factors to Consider
- Type and severity of infection: Your doctor will assess the type of fungal infection and its severity to determine the most effective treatment.
- Underlying health conditions: Being overweight can increase the risk of developing certain health conditions, such as diabetes, which can affect the immune system and fungal infection treatment.
- Potential interactions with other medications: Your doctor will review your medication list to ensure that Itaspor doesn't interact with other medications you're taking.
- Liver function: Itraconazole can affect liver function, so your doctor may monitor your liver enzymes during treatment.

I'm really worried about my wife's stretch marks on her inner thighs. She's been using Stretchrid cream recommended by a dermatologist, but its only shown a little improvement. She took an Unwanted 72 contraceptive pill in September 2019, and she's noticed a small weight gain recently, which might be linked to the stretch marks. Can you suggest the right treatment or medication for this?
Retinoids can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by promoting collagen production and increasing skin cell turnover. She can try using Retino-A cream 0.05% once daily at night on the affected areas. In addition to topical treatments, she can also consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support skin health and elasticity. I recommend taking Evion 400mg capsule once daily after a meal. It's important to continue using these medications consistently and be patient, as it may take some time to see significant improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks.
