Hello, the doctor prescribed me the drug itrax for tinea versicolor. He ordered to take a dose of 200mg for 14 days, on the leaflet he writes that this dose for this ailment is for 7 days. Is it not too long that I have ordered this treatment? It's a strong drug and I'm afraid to take it for so long...

As recommended in the Summary of Product Characteristics, Itax should be used at a dose of 200 mg for 7 days for the treatment of pityriasis versicolor. The doctor, based on his knowledge, experience and the patient's state of health, may recommend taking medication in a different way than the generally accepted one. This is called an off-label treatment https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami. If you have doubts about the dosage ordered, you should consult the prescriber of the drug. I enclose information about the possibility of using teleconsultation, if the need arises: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja
