Fungal infections got you down? How to safely take Itraconazole (10mg/ml) oral solution

#health #medication #antifungal #proper use #side effects

I've just started taking Itraconazole 10mg/ml oral solution for a tough fungal infection in my throat. The doctor said it works by stopping the growth of the fungus, but it seems like there are some severe side effects I should watch out for. I want to make sure I'm taking it safely and correctly, so I'd appreciate any tips from others who've been through this. It's also important to note that this drug can be taken on an empty stomach. I'm a bit worried about all the potential side effects and hope that it's safe to take.

I've given this to my kids with thrush and it works wonders. Buy a spare toothbrush, and use it for after taking the meds to avoid any taste transfers

Do you have any tips on dealing with the stomach upset? I got it prescribed but haven't started yet. Not sure what I'm in for

Avoiding alcohol should be a priority here. Always drink water on an empty stomach after your dose. I've heard it helps with some of the more mild side effects.

You can take anti-nausea meds like Pepto, but not sure how they interact with the antifungals. Best to ask your doctor.

I had a burning sensation that kept me up all night after the first dose. I took some OTC allergy meds and it went away. I think I might be allergic to it
