| 1 | fungal infection | three years after use my 17year old son was diagnosed with lymphoma | DO NOT USE THIS MEDICATION ON CHILDREN | M | | 2/24/2007 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Insomnia, nausea, headaches, joint pain, had no period at all this month, stomach pain, & really dark urine - which could mean liver problems (hopefully not) | I'm stopping & making an appointment with my doctor to look for an alternative. | F | 16 | 1 months 100mg | 4/11/2015 | 1 | I took this pill one morning, and later that day i found a white blister looking thing inside my vagina flaps, i took the pill before bed and woke up with three more. I currently have about 5 or 6 itchy white blisters inside me so i phoned me doctor and i bought canastean which i use for thrush and to rub on my blister looking sores, if they are still there in one more day i'm going back to the doctors. | F | 18 | 2X day | 12/4/2011 | 5 | toenail fungus | did not experience any side effects which was a great relief, after i had been on lamisil tablets for 30 days and was constantly depressed, paranoid and thought about very disturbing things... i think i felt slightly more tired when on the 3 week pulses, but then again i am a student and this could just be down to late nights!! | i am very satisfied with the results. the fungus which affected the toenails on one foot had been persistent for over 5 years, and nothing would shift it. i feel confident now about my foot and hope this never returns. i suggest to those of you experiencing side effects, to return to the dr and try something new. after my awful depression on lamisil my dr prescribed me sporanox because there were no reported mental disturbances. i would recommend this treatment. | F | 20 | 3 months | 5/1/2005 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Pounding heart, tachycardia, muscle cramps,joint pain, chills, lightheaded,headache,stomach discomfort | O boy ,I never would expect so many side effects from this, I live very healthy for most of time. and stayed off pharmaceutical pills over 4 years, because re-located to a different country,my body wasn't used to the new environment. was put on itrazonazole to fight of infection and it's itchiness. took a nap then woke up in headache and chest tightness, by evening when taking a walk, was attacked by chills and joint pain. then could not sleep the rest of night, ended up in ER twice the following day( morning and night) due to pounding heart. I threw medication immediately. now it has been a week, feeling better! I read it has gives loads of problem on liver too. I will NEVER ever take this again!!!! | F | 21 | 1 days 200mg 1X day | 10/30/2010 | 5 | Histoplasmosis | None that I'm aware of from this drug. (I'm also taking prednisone, asacol, and imuran.) My only complaints are that I get sick of taking it with pop or cranberry juice (helps absorbtion), and that it's harmful to a fetus so you can't use it while pregnant. | I've been taking 200mg of itraconazole (sporanox) twice daily for the past two years. I started after a hospitalization of four days for a fungal lung infection (histo). I have to take the drug chronically because I take immunosuppressants that could bring the dormant histo back. | F | 23 | 2 years | 3/21/2008 | 5 | Fungus infection | Vomiting, stomach bloating, lack of appetite. | Very good for a big boil which spread all the way from the scalp to the shoulder, recovered in 2 weeks. Removes fungus elsewhere as well at the same time. | F | 23 | 15 days | 9/5/2009 | 4 | histoplasmosis | Numbness in hands and feet | F | 25 | 7 months 10 mg 2x d | 7/13/2014 | 3 | Toenail fungus infection | Been taking 100mg twice a day for 23 days now... no side effects as of now. i am not on any other medications, taking evening primrose oil as supplement. | My big toe had fungus infection for many years, so far effects of the drug is not obviously visible from the outside but i could see that the fungus underneath the toe nail has reduced. will continue taking this medicine until i see better effects. it's quite pricy to take this over the long term. | F | 26 | 23 days 100mg 2X day | 6/5/2012 | 5 | Seborrheic Dermatitis | None | Sporanox has been very effective to treat my Seborrheic Dermatitis. I use it together with ketoconazole (Nizoral) creme daily and a maintenance dose of one time 200 mg every 14 days. I initially started with a 200 mg / day for 7 days dose. | M | 28 | 7 days | 3/27/2004 | 5 | Fungus in toenails | None | No side effects at all for this medicine. I recommend this drug highly versus anything else out there. I also used penlac in conjunction with this medicine which is applied like nail polish. This is the best medicine out there by far | M | 29 | 3 months | 7/17/2002 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Dizzy, Fainting, Nausea, Insomnia, Fatigue , Headache, Tightness in Chest, pain in left arm. | i was prescribed 400mg once a day for 7 days. with three weeks off. This was to be repeated 4 times(Pulse Dosage) I have taken Lamisil 3 times, which never seemed to work. No ill side effects with that drug. But man o man, this drug is poison. It's usually prescribed to cancer and aids patients to fight systematic fungal infections, lungs, throat, etc. That should of been the first sign not to take it. Unless you have a life threatening illness do not by any means take this for toenail fungus it's an insane drug! | M | 29 | 3 days 400mg 1X day | 3/22/2011 | 4 | Fungal nail infection | I have since been experiening headaches and dizziness for 4 days after taking them. | This medication seemed to work and i have now had them for 3 months taking for 1 week and 3 weeks off. Since finishing them i have had dizziness every day and occasional headaches. Im hoping this will stop soon. | M | 30 | 1 weeks 400mg 1X day | 10/10/2011 | 1 | Fungal nail infection | Within hours of taking this medication I began to feel confused, anxious and began to develop a rash on my stomach. I literally felt like something was happening to my brain. I only took this medication for 2 days before I stopped due to side effects. | BEWARE!!!!! This is an extremely strong drug. I took it for 2 DAYS over 10 years ago and I am STILL NOT THE SAME. Literally overnight after taking this medication I developed serious anxiety and depression and mental confusion. I cannot stress enough that this is a DANGEROUS drug. It is not worth taking unless death is your only other option. I feel like I have lost my life in a way due to taking this drug. My body obviously had a strong reaction to it and I really feel that it permanently altered something in me. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS! | F | 31 | 2 days 1X day | 11/16/2012 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Horrible floaters in eyes, stomach torn to bits, nausea, fatigue | Since taking sporanox pulsed 400 mg a day for 7 days then 3 weeks off for 6 months I have never felt the same since. Literally sometimes I feel like I'm better off dead food allergies gallbladder malfunction liver problems. Constant stomach upset list goes on stay away from this drug it's for serious fungal infections not toenails | M | 31 | 6 months 400mg 7X W | 1/5/2013 | 3 | Toenail fungus | Week one was worst, no energy felt off hard to describe just not myself. Not sleeping as well. Nightmares. Thirst. | Stick with this drug and the side effect gradually almost fully disappear. Took me about a week to start feeling a positive change from side effects. I finished my 3 month course last week and I've notice the nails growing healthy now. I do feel things upset me more easily at the moment. Dont know if this is related to taking itraconazole though as I currently do have a lot of things going on. | M | 32 | 3 months 200mg 2X day | 7/16/2020 | 1 | Fungal Infection in Toe | I had awful problems with sporanox - eventually ending up with a paramedic coming to see me. Severe chest pain, light headiness, nausea, weakness in legs (probably muscles), diarrhoea. All in all not good and I really dont recommend it. | M | 33 | 1 months | 8/10/2006 | 4 | Blastomycosis | At first I couldn't keep it down so I started drinking coca cola 15 minutes before taking it. After a couple of weeks I realized that I could keep it dow n without coca cola so I stopped drinking coca cola(I'm not a fan of pop) BUT after that my ankle and eyes started swelling! So i'm back to coca cola and a lot of kale...I'm not sure why kale but I've noticed that kale helps with swelling. | F | 34 | 3 months 20 mg 2X day | 2/17/2013 | 3 | Jock itch | No | Actually when I take it 15 to 20 Days jock itch get cleared but after 3to 4 days it comes back. Please help what should I do. Should I continue or not. Please help. Between thighs red rashes come back as I take gap. | M | 35 | 2 years 100 | 11/21/2015 | 3 | Fungal infection foreskin | At first, no side effects, then on the fifth day: heart missing beats, extreme fatigue, depression and confusion, had to take a break from work. Depression lasted for two days, confusion for three, and everytime I got some sleep I had very disturbing nightmares. The fourth day after cessation, I woke up with a green tongue (bacteria most likely) with white spots and a gingivitis. Now on the fifth day after cessation, I feel as if I've gotten sick, a cold of some sort. The mycosis I had under the foreskin appears to have died, red patches of irritation disappeared and small white strings, like dead skin or what do I know replaced it and seems to go away when gently brushed. | This was a horrible and scary experience, I do not recomemend that drug at all... see if there something less hardcore on the market first. | M | 35 | 5 days 200 mg 2X day | 6/5/2018 |
