| 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 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Toenail fungus | When I began taking Sporanox, I immediately started having irregular heart rhythms, was exhausted, and headachy. As the week went on all of this increased until on the 7th day I began to have shortness of breath and kept trying to pass out. My husband had to rush me to the ER. I still have irregular heart rhythms and don't know if that will ever change. | F | 48 | 7 days 200mg2xday | 3/11/2012 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | I took Itraconazol EG (generic version) to treat a fungus infection under the nail of the big toe. I repeated the treatment 4 times over the course of 4 months (one week taking the drug, then 3 weeks off). It helped but didn't cure the infection completely. I tried another drug (Terbinafine) but couldn't stand the side effects so I'm now using the Loceryl (amorolfin HCl) nail varnish to kill the remaining fungus. | M | 38 | 4 times 200mg 2X day | 2/23/2012 Patient History | 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 | 1 | Fungal skin infection | Felt horrible taking this med! Depression, weird dreams and extreme fatigue. After 10 days on it developed itchy hives on both hands. | I would NOT recommend this med. My side effects were fairly mild, but I was also taking Zyrtec at the time for seasonal allergies. I'd hate to know how I may have reacted if I hadn't been on an antihistamine! | F | 46 | 10 days 1X day | 10/28/2011 | 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 | My husband had a fungus in the groi | My husband experienced paralysis after taking this drug. Now he has developed Parkinson's disease. The insert said it could cause neurological problems in .0001% of people. How'd we get so lucky! | I would like to sue the manufacturers of this horrible drug. It was like taking poison for him. | M | 70 | 2 weeks 1X day | 7/14/2011 | 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 | 1 | Fungal toe nail infection | Extremely severe constipation and inability to urinate properly. | One of the most frightening experiences I've ever had! No way would I ever risk taking this stuff again. | M | 59 | 1.5 days 200mg 2X day | 3/14/2011 | 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 | 3 | Tunea Versicolour on my back | VERY CONSTIPATED AND BLOATED SO BADLY. Its been 2 weeks now since I stopped this medication and I would like to know how long do I have to wait till I feel normal again? I have been drinking prune and apple juice like its going out of style. I don't have a good appetite b/c I feel so full all the time. Looking forward to feeling better...If anyone has any advice, I would appreciate hearing from you. | Found it seemed to do some good for the purpose it was prescribed (it made the itchy spots on my back not itch anymore and hopefully it killed the fungus) which was important b/c I am trying to get pregnant and apparently the fungus is not great for the baby and that is why I went on the med in the first place. | F | 36 | 5 days ? 4X day | 10/12/2010 | 1 | Possible Candidas | Horrible abominable constipation and serious bloating. Very bad rash in private/rear end area (or sudden severe hemmoriods x 30!!!!!!) | Take this OFF THE MARKET!!!! I was supposed to take this for 2 weeks and tried to tough it out, thinking the consipation could mean I had candida and the yeast were dying (as this is known in natural circles as a common event. Overgrowth of yeast die rapidly in intestines and stop you up.)... This constipation was despite the fact I take many herbal laxatives (doctor approved)for a dysfunctional intestines. The medicine completely undid the laxatives. I also spend around $100 that first week on pro-biotics in addition to my normal tons of probitics in an attempt to make my stomach bloating and pain go down. (It was so severe I got many questions as to how far along in my "pregnancy" I was. I am less than 120 lbs and 5.5tall. ) After one week I could not hack it any longer. Immediately on stopping I developed what are either tons of hemmoroids in addition to 3 huge ones or blisters or a rash in and around the buttox area. Now I am in tons of pain from that. This is not an std as I have absolutely no way to contract one as I have been celibate for over 10 years. I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever take this medicine or anything like it ever ever again. I DO NOT, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT-- RECOMMEND THIS MEDICINE!!!!! I did not know about the possible deaths, and the doctor told me I would experience no adverse effects whatsoever, after much questioning. Thanks a lot for lying, doc. Again. TAKE THIS NASTY STUFF OFF THE MARKET!!! | F | 39 | 1 weeks 10 ml 1X day | 8/23/2010 | 5 | toe nail fungus | A little bloating and diarrhea | Other than a little tummy trouble I had nothing but great results with this medication | F | 43 | 40 days 100mg 1X day | 8/4/2010 | 5 | diagnosed acute dissimanated histop | Loss of hair possibly due to other factors also. Taste is awful. At first I had some nausea but have adjusted. | After 10 days in ICU and near death, constant sinus problems, I was told that I may be on this the rest of my life. I'm ok with it if that's what it takes to save my life. I also take Bactrim daily for low T-cells. Specialist are still not sure the cause of the low immune system. | F | 51 | 8 months liguid 2X day | 3/11/2010 | 5 | Athlete's foot which spread | None | I had Athlete's foot (caused by stress at work) and because I did not treat it, it spread to my eyes and hair causing hair loss and an itching in my eyes which was unbearable. I woke up one morning to find that my pillow was a brilliant yellow (due to the fungus) my fault though as I used to go to bed with wettish hair (I have thick hair which takes ages to dry and I was so busy at the time). took Sporanox and hair loss stopped, eyes stopped itching and my 'widow's peak' of hair at the front returned!! Brilliant stuff. Took 3 doses. | F | 59 | 1 months | 9/14/2009 | 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 | 5 | sinus mold/yeast | None | I don't knw why so many negative comments. I suffered for years with yeast and chronic sinus infections. Finally after two sinus surgeries a new ENT wa smart enough to culture and found resistant mold in sinus. I had been on Diflucan daily only to go into infection whenever off Diflucan or antibiotics. The Sporanox wiped it out. A little itching (normal when treating fungal) and best if you take with soda as it works better on acidic stomach. Take after food. The persistant vaginal yeast I had forever finally cleared and many other things. The mold apparently is one picked up in hospitals and I'm pretty cetain I obtained it during the sinus surgery to begin with. This is one of the few meds that works on resistant yeast/certain molds. Had no problems with this med. Oh...stay away from caffine while taking and that will help the folks with the heart palps. This med was a life saver for me after 4 years of chronic infection unresolved until culture showed specific mold i nsius and lacrimal eye sac. | F | 46 | 30 days | 7/22/2009 | 1 | Nail fungas | After a day and a half, I awoke in the middle of the night to find I had broken out in hives from head to feet. I even had hives in my ears, nostrils, and scalp. I itched so badly, I could not sleep or go to work. This lasted about a week before the large red whelps disappeared. My doctor immediately took me off the medication and gave me prescriptions to counteract the itching. | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!! | F | 42 | 1.5 days | 6/1/2009 |
