I have been on Alprazolam for quite some time. Is it okay if I start Canditral now?

What happens if fungal infection is left untreated?
Those that penetrate into the body typically increase in severity over time and, if left untreated, may cause permanent damage and in some cases may eventually cause death. A few fungal infections may be easily passed on to other people, while others typically are not contagious.
My doctor prescribed Canditral to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
Your doctor did not prescribe Canditral to your friend because Canditral interferes with the working of dofetilide. This interference can cause disturbed electrical activity of the heart, which can be harmful for the patient.
