Product introduction

Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off extra liquid. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose. Do not use more than you need it, will not clear your condition faster and may only increase the side effects. Do not use it for longer than your doctor has told you to and let him or her know if your condition does not improve after 2 to 4 weeks of treatment. 

It may cause blurred vision, irritation, and burning sensation immediately following application. However, these side effects are temporary and usually subside on their own. Inform your doctor if they persist for a longer duration. Do not wear contact lenses while using it. You should call your doctor if you think you might have a severe allergic reaction.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way this medicine works, but talk to your doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine that contains a steroid or had an allergic reaction to another antifungal medicine. This medicine should only be used if it is clearly needed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ask your doctor if it is safe.

Frequently asked questions

Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop is a medicine that belongs to a class of medicines known as antifungal medicines. It is used in the treatment of fungal eye infections. It kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane, thus curing the infections.
Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop should not be used for more than 7 days, unless your doctor tells you to. Due to prolonged use, the fungal infection may become resistant to Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop which means it will no longer work properly. If you have been having the infection for more than 6 months, please talk to your doctor. You may need to change the dose or probably take a different or more efficient medicine.
Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop starts working as early as within 3 days. The itching and discharge (if any) are the first ones to get better. Pain and soreness may take a little longer to resolve, as long as 7 days. But, if it takes longer or if your symptoms do not subside or get worse, please consult your doctor immediately.
No, you should not stop using Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop suddenly without talking to your doctor. Doing so may worsen your symptoms and your infection may return. Remember, your symptoms may improve and you may feel better before the infection is completely cleared. Stopping the medication too early could allow the fungus to continue to grow and hence, prevent complete healing.
Use of Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop should be avoided in patients who are allergic to Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop or any of its components. However, if you are not aware of any allergy, or if you are using Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop for the first time, consult your doctor.
Keep Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop in the container or the pack it came in, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions mentioned on the pack or label. Dispose off the unused medicine. Keep it away from children and other people to avoid any misuse.
Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. The infections caused could be ringworm infection, infection of feet, or infection in groin and buttocks. This medicine also treats persistent infection of fingernails and toenails, persistent candida (yeast) infections of vagina or candida (yeast) infections of the mouth or throat in patients with lower resistance to disease. It is also used in the treatment of cryptococcal infection and infections caused by histoplasma, aspergillus and blastomyces.
The dose and length of treatment will depend on the type and site of infection and your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may need to be taken for 30 days. While, on the other hand, if you are taking it for candidal infection of vagina, the dose may take about 1 to 3 3 days depending on the dosage advised by the doctor.
No, you should not stop taking Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop 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.
Your doctor may have prescribed blood tests to monitor your liver’s functioning. This is because the use of Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop may cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine or abdominal pain while taking Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop, immediately inform your doctor.
Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop can be utilized by the body if there is sufficient acid in the stomach. Medicines for stomach ulcers, heartburn or indigestion neutralize the acid produced by the stomach. Therefore, it is advised to avoid taking antacids or any such medicine for a minimum of 2 hours after taking Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop. However, if you are taking antacids (medicines that stop the production of stomach acid), take Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop capsules with a drink of cola.
Drug resistance is a condition when the fungi get modified in your body and the medicine is not able to work. There are reports which suggest resistance of some candida species (krusei, glabrata and tropicalis) with Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop. Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop should not be used for infection caused due to these species. It is advised to take the complete course of Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop to avoid drug resistance.
Yes, you can take both Alprazolam and Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop together, but keep a watch on the side effects of Alprazolam such as lightheadedness or drowsiness. If you experience side effects after taking Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of alprazolam.
Your doctor did not prescribe Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop to your friend because Vitrazole 1% Eye Drop interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful for the patient.
