Acosta 1% Gel

Introduction to

Acosta 1% Gel acts as a potent remedy for battling intense fungal or yeast infections. The liquid form is mainly designed for oropharyngeal or esophageal candidiasis (akin to thrush). The pill forms are used for a broad range of fungal infections, such as aspergillosis, and blastomycosis, or histoplasmosis.

Itraconazole, akin to many antifungal drugs, functions by blocking the expansion and reproduction of fungi or yeast in the body. It accomplishes this by targeting a critical part of the fungal cell membranes named ergosterol, which is indispensable for their structural wholeness.

Ingest itraconazole a couple of hours before or an hour subsequent to antacids. Antacids reduce the effectiveness of this medication by decreasing the amount that your body assimilates. If you have scarce or no stomach acid or if you ingest medications that shrink stomach acid, it's preferable to ingest itraconazole with an acidic beverage, such as cola.

Those who are prescribed it should abide by their medical provider's advice pertaining to dosage and treatment span.

It is of paramount importance to report any enduring symptoms or adverse reactions promptly.

What is Acosta 1% Gel used for?

Acosta 1% Gel 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.

For how long do I need to take Acosta 1% Gel?

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 Acosta 1% Gel 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.

What should I do if I skip a dose of Acosta 1% Gel?

If you forget to take your dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the forgotten dose.

For how long should I apply Acosta 1% Gel? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?

The duration of treatment with Acosta 1% Gel depends on the type of infection. In general, the treatment for tinea infection is advised for 1 month and for candida infection for at least for 15 days. Do not stop the treatment on your own even if you feel better because the infection may come back as it takes some time to kill the fungus.

Acosta 1% Gel is effective against which fungi?

Acosta 1% Gel is effective against Trichophyton species which cause ringworm infection, athlete’s foot and jock itch (fungal infection of the skin in the groin or buttocks). It is also effective against yeast known as Candida which commonly causes vaginal thrush (infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast called Candida albicans).

I have started using Acosta 1% Gel. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?

The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment. However, other signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. Do not stop applying this medicine before the duration advised by your doctor, even if you feel better.

Are there any measures that should be taken to help a faster recovery?

Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry but avoid excessive rubbing. You may have the urge to scratch because of itchiness but avoid scratching as it will damage the surface of skin and cause the infection to spread further. Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.

Does Acosta 1% Gel affect contraception?

Acosta 1% Gel may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, like diaphragms and condoms. If you are using the cream on the vulva or penis, it is advised to use alternative methods of contraception for at least 5 days after using Acosta 1% Gel.

What precautions do I need to take while using Acosta 1% Gel?

Be careful not to get Acosta 1% Gel into your eyes or mouth. If you happen to get it in your eyes, rinse off with plenty of water immediately and contact your doctor. You must not use Acosta 1% Gel if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Let your doctor know if you notice any allergic reaction while using it for the first time. Inform your doctor if you are taking any medicines regularly to prevent any allergic reaction with other medicines. Do not cover the area being treated with Acosta 1% Gel with a bandage, as this may increase absorption of this medicine and increase the side effects. Do not use more than what is recommended to relieve your symptoms faster. Using more than what is advised will only increase the side effects. Also, it is advised to inform your doctor if you are planning to conceive. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should use Acosta 1% Gel only if prescribed by the doctor.

Is Acosta 1% Gel safe to use in children?

Acosta 1% Gel is safe for children only if taken as directed by the doctor. It should be given to children in the correct dose only for the prescribed length of time. Minor side effects may occur but usually they are not bothersome. However, if you develop a burning sensation, redness and itching (which is severe in nature), stop the medicine and contact your doctor.

I am taking Acosta 1% Gel for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?

No, you should not stop taking Acosta 1% Gel 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.

How to use Acosta 1% Gel?

Before using Acosta 1% Gel, clean and dry the affected area. Gently and thoroughly massage it into the skin. Be careful not to get the medication in your eyes or mouth. If Acosta 1% Gel gets in your eyes accidentally, wash with plenty of water and call your doctor if your eyes are irritated.
