Fluconazole liver damage

Common Questions and Answers about Fluconazole liver damage

diflucan

My question is this - my doctor's nurse just told me that they didn't want to prescribe me any additional Rx for this because it can damage the liver. I have been taking ketoconazole for about 1.5 months (just stopped taking it) and am now taking 100mg fluconazole and 250mg lamisil pills at the same time once per day. Is it true that this can damage my liver? Should I be concerned at this point? I've checked the whites of my eyes and there is no yellowing what-so-ever.

even with treatment Have I possibly done damage to my liver, kidneys or other organs? Is Terry's nails something to worry about? Thanks!

Am still on weekly fluconazole. I'm gonna be the happiest woman today, as my man is coming home. He'll be home for 9 days. I feel blessed!

being treated for fingernail fungus and taking fluconazole tabs and using same in ointment and skin is much worse,redder, doctor stopped use of tablets waiting for blood work for liver possible liver damage. Now using Vicks Vapor Rub and it is helping. Will it get rid of the fungus ? After only 4 days it is so much better but I do not know if results are temporary. I have had this very painful condition for7 months.

My ALT was 35 (top of the range). I know a little bit about this testing and having an elevated reading could be liver damage. I am wondering what medications could possilbe effect this test, if any. I am also wondering if I should be very concerned with my results. Can anyone offer any advise?

I did not bathe my cat in the oil or put a lot (probably less than 1 cc) I just poured some in cotton swabs and applied it to the damaged areas. An hour after I did that, I read from the manufacturer’s web page that tea tree oil was toxic for cats and that it has killed kitties before. I called my vet and he said the same thing. I immediately grabbed a wet towel and rubbed it over the ears and neck to get rid of the oil. I don’t know if this is enough.

i to have the same thing ive had it for years and is agervating itchy painful and scaly and i hate it my doctor has me on fluconazole 200mg i take 1 every two days and wash my hair with Nizoral you can get it at wallmart its for stuff like scalpringworm.ive bin taking the pills for about a little over two months and shampoo for two weeks and my ringworm is almost gone no more flakes eather.if you get the shampoo please get up with me so i can tell you proper way to use for your condition.

Hi, You have a lot of things going on and your drinking has not helped..... It is not so much the amount we drink but the effect it has on us that makes us alcoholic. The liver has this amazing ability of healing itself if we allow it, stay away from drink. How do you feel emotional, do you get anxious, do you cope okj from day to day, do you miss the drink?

A month ago I started having sore tongue and mouth and my Doc prescribed Mycelex Troche tablets. I took them for a week and most of the symptoms seemed to disappear. Unfortunately, last week they came back. I went to a Dermatologist; they took culture from the back of my tongue and confirmed some yeast infection. They prescribed Diflucan (Fluconazole) 100mg daily (2 tablets first day). But they advised me to talk with my Hep Doctor before starting the anti-fungal Tx.

About 15 years ago I took sporanox for toe nail fungus, which cleared but then recurred. I then took Lamisil, which cleared the fungus for good. At the time I had undiagnosed Hep C. The manufacturers of both drugs warn that you should perform regular liver function and enzyme tests while taking those drugs. My PCP did not do any testing. He is no longer my PCP. Its nice to have fungus free toenails, but if I had to choose I would keep my liver instead.

By the way, contrary to what you believe an alt of 79 (if I remember right it's from 5 - 60) is showing us all that you have liver damage progressing as you speak. A liver enzyme is released whenever a liver cell dies.

Could this have damaged any organs. I know my kidneys and liver are weak. Or that is may be Giardia Lamblia. Our water report said we had Cryptosporidium so I got an Aquasana filter. I have cats and would hate to get rid of them. I have read that my Gallbladder may cause yellow diarrhea if not working properly. I did a Gallbladder cleanse (Olive Oil, Epson salt lemmons) but did not see any stones. I really hate taking meds as I think they just cause more problems.

Mine were in 190/170 range prior, but years ago, during my first tx, they dropped from 220's to 170 - with no liver damage, and I felt sure, with the more severe damage, I was borderline. I know we do scrutinise over our tests for signs of improvement or change; since tx, after my platelets hit 190 again (and it took a while), I stopped thinking about it.

eg, codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, methadone, buprenorphine, tramadol, and fentanyl. Individual patients may have genetic variants of the enzymes, or may be taking inducer or inhibitor drugs, that strongly influence opioid metabolism and, hence, their detectable presence or absence in urine (or blood, or oral fluid if used) [see, Carlozzi et al. 2008; Smith 2009].

I have now taken Diflucan (fluconazole) for extended periods of time, but it has risks of liver damage. The medical profession has viewed antibiotics as low-risk tools for a half century now, but it's not like that for everyone. Some of us may be more sensitive to the effects of massive antibiotics, and in addition I was taking (at the LLMD's insistence) a yeast-based probiotic called Florastor, which I am now told not to take again.

You could be doing some severe damage to your liver with your meds - fluconazole, even at low doses, can cause liver injury, as can nystantin. Hepatic injury can cause symptoms like you are describing. I am not saying something isn't wrong with you. I don't know what it is - nor will any doctor without some testing. Your doctor can do a culture of the area and find out if there is yeast present.

However if you are in your third trimester, you need to mention this to your doctor or midwife, because there is a chance that it could be obstetric cholestatis. This is where your liver isnt working enough to rid you body of bile. The doc will do a blood test to confirm what it is.

AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) are sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of disease. But it must be emphasized that higher-than-normal levels of these liver enzymes should not be automatically equated with liver disease. They may mean liver problems or they may not. For example, elevations of these enzymes can occur with muscle damage.

I TOOK SPORANOX AND DIFLUCAN FOR A YEAR OR SO, IT DID HELP ME ALOT BUT THE REAL IMPROVEMENT WAS WHEN I STOPPED INHALING AIRBORNE MOLD, OTHER SUPPLEMENT LIKE THREELAC OR SF-722 ARE GREAT FOR A FUNGAL PROSTATITIS, , NOW , THESE DIABOLIC ORGANISIMS , CAN GET IMMUNE TO SOME OF THE TREATMENTS, SO YOU NEED TO KEEP CYCLING THEM SOME NATURAL ANTIFUNGAL WERE OF GREAT HELP LIKE ONIONS AND GARLIC, BLACK WALLNUT WAS GREAT TOO, OREGANO WAS GREAT ALSO CASTOR BEAN OIL IS FANTASTIC inhaling bleach ( whi

liver or kidney disease; heart disease, high blood pressure, heart rhythm problems; a history of heart attack or stroke; a history of low white blood cell (WBC) counts; a thyroid disorder; seizures or epilepsy; cataracts; high cholesterol or triglycerides; a personal or family history of diabetes; or trouble swallowing.

NP said it was a sinus infection, but sinus meds made it worse. GP said it was fungus, but Fluconazole just made my hair fall out and my lips peel off daily. Saliva test for candida was negative. ENT prescribed Nystatin oral, which caused rashes everywhere and did not help anything. IM doctor said I was "more toxic than most people" and tried to sell me supplements including zeolite and colloidal silver. I've tried Itraconazole and lots of OTC herbs.

I was fortunate the level was not that high. It was an easy cure and I'am fine, (no damage to me or my new liver), but I wanted to warn everyone about this. My doctor told me there are many foods that are being tested to see what there reaction is when Prograf is used by a transplant recipient. The new foods being tested are all citrus fruits. Pomegranate and apricots are now being studied to see if they have the same effect as grapefruit juice, (increasing Prograf levels).

Fluconazole can be hard on the liver so make sure to get liver function tests done before and during treatment. I did go off the medication after 3 weeks because I was having some major effects with my digestive system, probably due to more fungal issues.

My LLMD was amazed when my blood test came back very positive, but then he jumped on it and treated with Diflucan, which gets into the blood stream and not just on the surface of the digestive tract, and he used high doses for a longer than standard time, tho there is risk of liver damage from that.

I know about aspirin and I don't take it either. Coumadin will destroy soft tissue. I suffered memory loss, had my gums destryed and suffered liver damage. As far as I can tell it was not necessary. People who are put on this drug need to be very aware of the dangers involved in using it, only use it if it is the only course and only use it for the minimum amount of time possible. It took over a year for me to recover the ability to speak correctly again.

This test was negative twice, and I was treated with Fluconazole for 7 days. In the mean time my obsession with googling begun. I am very thorough and overanalytical and like to make sure I know everything there is to know. Well, I spent hours upon hours researching and googling candidasis and was completely terrified by what I was reading. I thought I was dying and that the doctor's were missing something. I was convinced I had a fungal blood infection and became paranoid by it all.

Finally, some patients have doctors who have diagnosed a yeast infection in the gut, which cause the smell which comes out through the sinuses or breath, and prescribed Fluconazole 150mg. This looks somewhat promising, but Fluconazole must be administered by a doctor at any rate. Here is the Medhelp thread for that: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Respiratory-Disorders/Bad-smell-coming-from-noseFound-a-Cure-Yayyyy/show/520721 ADDENDUMS BY DR. ENOCH CHOI, M.D.

Most of the gastro-intestinal tract is tender when pressed, especially the small intestine, liver and gall bladder. There may even have been a gall bladder operation that failed to improve the condition, sometimes even worsening the symptoms. There could be a history of thrush or oral, anal or vaginal itching. When these are present the diagnosis of Candida is obvious but it may also be present in the absence of these manifestations and that can be somewhat confusing.

If the liver becomes compromised it can have an effect on your endocrine system and if your hormones becomes imbalanced all hell can break loose. Liver damage also makes it very difficult for you body to process toxins. Be very careful. I do speak from experience. The yeast buster kit seems to be working, albeit, slowly. I am noticing a lot of little things that are different.
