Common Questions and Answers about Sporanox treatment

sporanox

Avatar f tn I would not take lamisil ever again. It is notoriously hard on your liver. Sporanox is really bad for the liver also.
Avatar f tn The preferred conventional oral treatment is Sporanox pulse therapy daily for a week followed by a three week rest, repeated for three months. A clipped nail sample should be sent for culture before treatment. Expect a 60% to 70% cure rate. It’s unsafe for people with heart disease, may damage the liver, and interacts with other drugs. So your doctor has to watch carefully! Consider tea tree oil, a safe natural over the counter remedy. It’s a powerful antibacterial and antifungal agent.
Avatar f tn Infectious disease doctors specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases involving bacterial infection, fungal infection (yeast), and viral infection. I am currently being treated by an infectious disease doctor, and he has me taking 100mg of Itraconazole per day. The name brand for Itraconazole is Sporanox. I still have this yeast infection! The medicine has not helped me yet. Why is this happening?
Avatar n tn So I visited a dermatologist and she said that it was fungus and that I should use Nizoral shampoo as a treatment, but it would go away in year! My question is that what other possibilities could there be? Is there any other treatment that could make it go away faster? What causes it? I like to think of myself as very hygenic, so I'm surprised I even have to deal with this. Thank you for your help.
Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis on my face. I was asked to take sporanox capsules by the doc for a week and consult the doc soon after. The fungal infection subsided within that period but I did not consult the doc after that. The infection has returned once again . I would like to know if I should take the capsules once again for a week and then consult the doc or meet the doc before taking them.
Avatar n tn I apparently am very susceptible to fungus as I developed another cough a few years later and it was also a fungus. Sporanox and coq10 eliminated the cough totally after YEARS of hell! I observe that fungus related coughs go undiagnosed because typically many primary doctors do not even know how to test for it, and in the case of histoplasmosis it can take weeks for it to incubate in the cultures.
Avatar n tn These include topical antifungals like econazole (Spectazole) or oxiconazole (Oxistat) and oral antifungals like Itraconazole (Sporanox),Fluconazole (Diflucan) or Terbinafine (Lamisil) Triamcolone acetonide is a more potent type of triamcinolone, being about 8 times as effective as prednisone.It should not be used to treat fungal infections without consulting a dermatologist. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.Kind regards.
Avatar n tn I was wondering what would be the best fungal medication for him to take terbinafine or fluconazole I read on the internet that sporanox is not recommended. What do you think I should tell the doctor to prescribe for a two and a half year old that would be safe. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/240169'>Fingernail fungus</a>.
483814 tn?1214311480 This month will be one year that I have been on the treatment (Pegasus and copegas). No surprise my hair is thinning but I doing pretty well other wise. One thing I have noticed in is the nail on the big toe on one foot is brown while the nail on the other big toes is a funky whitish band through the middle. Is this familiar to anyone and what can I do about it? I don't want to bring it up to my doctor because she follows up on my blood work by phone.
Avatar m tn I was Rx Sporanox pending liver function test. AST was normal, but ALT was 52 in a lab norm range of 2 - 45. I was told possibly elevated due to my 1600 - 2400 mg/dy of nsaids (Advil gel caps). ETOH consumption moderate. If I cut the nsaids, how long should I expect to wait to retest for a drop of 7 points on that ALT score? Is 45 really the high end of norm?

Avatar m tn Hi, I have been experiencing a red painless sore covered by white colored form on top of my penis for the last two weeks. I already consulted a dermatologist and have taken SPORANOX for first two days then have changed the medication to 'Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropoinate Cream', Tablets of 'Metronizazole 400mg 'and 'Ciprofloxacin 500'. Lab report also shows no symptom of Syphilis(VDRL is negative). I am really frustrated, any advice would be highly appreciated.

Ive been so stressed and been traumatize of what has been happening to me.. please help me on how to eliminate this oral thrush or tongue fungal what should i do??
Avatar n tn Topical treatment: When fungus affects the skin of the body or the groin, many antifungal creams can clear the condition in two weeks or so. Examples of such preparations include those that contain clotrimazole (Cruex cream, Desenex cream, Lotrimin cream, lotion, and solution), miconazole (Monistat-Derm cream), ketoconazole (Nizoral cream); and terbinafine (Lamisil cream and solution).
Avatar f tn I tested negative for hsv-2 at 6 weeks after my last sexual encounter. I got painful vaginal lumps, so I went to the gynecologist at 8 weeks post exposure, she examined my lumps and said they were normal lumps women get. She examined my cervix and said there's a yeast infection, but no STD. She prescribed canestan, metronidazole, and two other meds( she wrote them pretty weird) I think one is binozyt and the other is sporanox.
Avatar f tn I am really so upset and question what is the point of living if my life is going to be like this for the rest of my life. No one suffers from infections like I do. I feel so isolated and alone... I have eaten sporanox, diflucan, pessaries.. they will only make me feel better for two weeks and the symptoms will return. I would really appreciate any stories from anyone who have successfully battled such recurrent infections..
Avatar m tn In 2015 I went to a skindoctor he could see some yeastinfection at my fingers and my feet n than he gave me Terbinafin in two months, it helped while I was taking it, but after I stopped taking it everything return to how it was before. And than the doctor gav me Sporanox (Itraconazol) but this one had no effect at all. I have been to the doctor recently when I got gas and urticaria and he told me that it is just a normal skinallergy n I just need to take allergy medicin.
Avatar m tn The effect had begun at day 13-14 and until 6 weeks after the end of the treatement. After, they gave me itraconazole 200 (Sporanox) during 1 week and it worked very well. So my dermatologist conclued it was atypic pityriasis versicolor. Unfortunately, now he is retired. And I am in trouble because others dermatologists say it is eczema (clinical). They dont't understand why Triflucan works with me. They never treated me until the rash completely disappear.
Avatar m tn It will usually be accompanied by pain and swelling which will subside in a few days leaving only the discoloration behind. Initial treatment is with cold compress and pain killers. The colored spots will fade in about a fortnight, as each day passes the color can change as the the blood pigment gets broken down. If you have a nail fungal infection (onychomycosis) the nail may appear thickened, brittle and dull, with no luster or shine.
Avatar f tn I used to have severe dizziness problem for years until I was given Sporanox to treat an obvious yeast infection (there was very bad fungus in my ears) and ever since the dizziness went away but I have all the other fibro symptoms. Things aren't as bad as they used to be but I'm not completey cured. It is possible to treat fibro, but my rheumatologist says it's a one to five year treatment plan. He used to have fibro himself and learned how to control it.
