Unlike itraconazole and ketoconazole, absorption of fluconazole is not reduced if it is given together with drugs that reduce gastric acid secretion. Concomitant administration of fluconazole and rifampicin has resulted in a modest reduction in blood levels of the antifungal agent. The effect is less marked than with itraconazole or ketoconazole and is due to induction of P-450 cytochrome oxidases by rifampicin with resulting enhanced hepatic metabolism of the azole drug. Like rifampicin, phenytoin undergoes cytochrome P-450-mediated hepatic metabolism and its concomitant administration with fluconazole may reduce its clearance.
Management of Tinea Unguium
Fungal infection of the nails (onychomycosis) may be caused by a number of dermatophytes as well as by a number of other moulds and Candida species. There is wide geographical and racial variation in the causative agents, but in the UK 85-90% of nail infections are due to dermatophytes and about 5% are due to non-dermatophyte moulds.
Management of Tinea Manuum
The anthropophilic dermatophytes E. floccosum, T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitate and T. rubrutn are the most common causes of tinea manuum. Less commonly, the condition is caused by zoophilic dermatophytes, such as M. canis and T. verrucosum, or geophilic dermatophytes, such as M. gypseum. Hand infection may be acquired as a result of contact with another person, with an animal, or with soil, either through direct contact, or via a contaminated object such as a towel or gardening tool. Autoinoculation from another site of infection can also occur.
Management of Tinea Pedis
The term tinea pedis is used to refer to dermatophyte infections of the feet. These infections often involve the interdigital spaces, but chronic diffuse desquamation can affect the entire sole. The anthropophilic dermatophytes E. floccosum, T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale and T. rubrutn are the commonest causes of tinea pedis in the UK and North America.
Management of Tinea Cruris
The dermatophytes most often encountered in tinea cruris are E. floccosum and T. rubrum. Maceration and occlusion of the skin in the groin give rise to warm moist conditions that favour the development of the infection. Tinea cruris is a common form of dermatophytosis.
Management of Tinea Corporis
Tinea corporis is caused by E. floccosum and many species of Trichophyton and Microsporum. Infection with anthropophilic species, such as E. floccosum or T. rubrum often follows autoinoculation from another infected body site, such as the feet. Tinea corporis caused by T. tonsurans is sometimes seen in children with tinea capitis and their close contacts. Tinea corporis commonly occurs following contact with infected household pets or farm animals, but occasional cases result from contact with wild mammals or contaminated soil.
Management of Tinea Capitis
The condition is worldwide in distribution, but is most prevalent in Africa, Asia and southern and eastern Europe, where it is the most common form of dermatophytosis. Improved standards of hygiene and prompt eradication of sporadic infection have led to a marked decline in the incidence of tinea capitis in North America and western Europe.
Fluconazole 50mg, 100mg, 150mg, 200mg Capcules
Fluconazole belongs to the class of medicines called triazole derivatives, which are used to treat a variety yeast and other fungal infections (Candida and cryptococci), particularly those affecting the mouth, throat, lungs, urinary tract, blood and other organs. Fluconazole is also used to prevent fungal infections from occurring in people whose healthy defences against illness and infection are lessened (a suppressed immune system). It works by slowing the growth of fungi that cause infection.
Pripsen (Mebendazole) 100 mg tablets
Now read the rest of the leaflet before you use this medicine. It includes other information which might be especially important for you. Pripsen Mebendazole Tablets belong to a group of medicines called Anthelmintics which are used to eliminate threadworm infections.
Order Amoxil (Amoxicillin) Without Prescription 500mg
Amoxicillin, an acid stable, semi-synthetic drug belongs to a class of antibiotics called the Penicillins (beta-lactam antibiotics). It is shown to be effective against a wide range of infections caused by wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in both human and animals.
