"This medicine does wonders. Tried so many creams and medicines before. None of them worked. Then my doc referred me to itraconazole 200. Within 4 days, my skin problem started to fade away. Now, after 2 weeks, it's perfectly cured. This medicine works perfectly."

"I've been on this for 6 days, 100 mg per day, cleared my fungal infection on feet, but side effects were sore throat, runny nose, cold symptoms, feeling tired, joint pain, and mild abdominal pain. You should take this after a full meal."

"On my 5th day of itraconazole for a severe fungal scalp infection that I have suffered with for the last 12 months. It’s starting to look like it’s finally clearing up, the side effects haven’t been too bad, mostly just an upset stomach and loss of hunger. But I think that could be more based on my anxiety disorder than itraconazole. Hopefully, the side effects eventually get easier."

"I have used Itraconazole for about 3 months. Even though the medicine worked on my skin, I had really bad side effects. I was constipated and didn't get my period for the whole 3 months I was taking the medicine."

"What started out as a misdiagnosed flea bite turned into the spreading of lesions all the way from my ankles to my shoulders (and everywhere in between). So far this medication has appeared to stop (day 12, 100mg a day for 15 days) the spread, reverse the skin color to its original color, and bring the inflammation down. HOWEVER, beware the emotional effects. My (otherwise) physically healthy body, exercise loving, outdoors type of motivated personality has crumbled into a short, anxiety ridden temper, who is constantly irritable and fearful. It has also modified my appetite in a negative way. Good luck."

"Started a course of 50 mg twice a day itraconazole, developed a mild to moderate headache every time I had a a dose. Drinking a lot of water and having some food helped in reducing the headaches. However a mild headache persisted throughout the day. I stopped taking the medicine after 5 days due to the headache and now I am relying on a topical anti-fungal agent for a Yeast infection. Did not have any other side effects however headache persisted throughout the day."
