sporanox treatment dose

I would not take lamisil ever again. It is notoriously hard on your liver. Sporanox is really bad for the liver also.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

so i missed my dose of rivoferion last night fell asleep noticed this morning that i didnt take it. so nov.11th is is my last dose,by missing this dose did i just screw up my tx.i sure hope not!!!! and this is the first x.

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.

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.

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>.

dopt=AbstractPlus On a personal note, I tolerated the treatment drugs reasonably well. After a slow response on my first treatment attempt, I increased my ribavirin from 1200 to 1800 mg/day. I also increased the *duration* of treatment from 48 to 72 weeks. Unfortunately, I relapsed very quickly. The second attempt I used 2000mg/day ribavirin, and ~204 µg Peg-Intron/weekly. I increase the duration to 96 weeks; this did produce SVR finally.

This indicates that a treatment regiment with ribavirin dose based on plasma concentration at week 4 could significantly improve treatment outcome," they added. "We propose this to be examined in a prospective randomized trial." ----------- just pulled this from the link in my previous thread. while the study does not directly address flat versus weight-based dosing, it does add to the body of evidence suggesting that serum ribavirin levels are important both for RVR and SVR.

After not having a big response at week 4 and I would imagine looking at your hgb he decided to increase your dose. If that is the case I think he did a good job for you. If he started too low based on your weight by mistake it's a different story. How much do you weigh? do you know where your hgb was at week four and where it stands now? At four weeks if you were und your chance of svr is definitely greater then at 12 weeks.

30 AM and first shot of interferon at Dr's office at 2:30. I had no reaction to the first shot of pegasys, but got pretty sick after the next three, then no sx after that, well except for hair loss. I did not do well with the incivek, I lost my appetite on day one. I hope you did research or your Dr discussed all of the sx of this treatment. If you have not discussed treatment options for these sx, I would do so soon. You already got good advice for anemia.

Am feeling better with the reduced dose but now starting to worry about chances of SVR decreasing. Will see specialist soon to discuss procrit although original doctor thinks it's a nasty drug. My question for the old timers here is have many people who reduced dose greatly reduced chances of attaining SVR? Thanks!

Menchi is right that you need to give the meds more time to determine results. The half life of a T4 med is about one week, so it takes 4 weeks for the meds to build up to over 90 % of final effect in the blood. That is why doctors typically don't want to re-test any time sooner than 6-8 weeks. More importantly, you need additional testing beyond TSH. TSH is a pituitary hormone that is affected by so many variables that it is inadequate as a sole diagnostic for thyroid.

what would it mean if i went to this new doctor and he wanted me to lower my dose to 135. would that prolong treatment and make me on it longer? would it help me as much? would it take away some of these symptoms? someone help please. thankyou, love krissy.

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?
