"Itraconazole literally saved my life. I had a life-threatening case of pulmonary histoplasmosis disseminating to my liver. Thankfully, my infectious disease doctor caught it in time and started me on a pulsating dose of itraconazole while in the hospital. I stayed on a maintenance dose of 100 mg for two years and just now got off. I had zero side effects other than being a bit tired, but it was worth it. I highly recommend this drug for histo patients."

"I was treated with this antibiotic for 3 miserable months. It worked. However, my side effects ranged from developing alopecia, feeling extremely exhausted all the time, pins-and-needles sensation that caused permanent nerve damage, and the list goes on."
