I am taking IT Lock 200mg Tablet for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?

No, you should not stop taking IT Lock 200mg Tablet without completing the entire course because doing so may not completely cure the fungal infection. It usually takes about 6-9 months for nail lesions to disappear because after the medicine eliminates the fungus, the new nail takes several months to grow. Do not worry if you do not see any improvement during the treatment.

Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?

Your doctor is probably trying to monitor your liver’s functioning. IT Lock 200mg Tablet may cause serious liver damage. Therefore, if you develop loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or abdominal pain while taking IT Lock 200mg Tablet, you should tell your doctor immediately.
