"Made me a bit nauseous off and on for the first week, then intense, debilitating stomach cramps and diarrhea on the 8th or 9th day of use. Also did not cure the yeast infection. At first, it seemed like it was working, then symptoms came back worse than before."

"This drug was one of the only oral antifungals I wasn’t allergic to and worked amazingly well to clear all yeast infections within the ten-day treatment on the lowest dose. Very disappointed that it was removed from use in Australia because some people on long-term use of it got serious side effects. You’d think they’d just restrict all long-term use rather than remove a very good treatment tablet. Now I have nothing to take or apply that I’m not allergic to or have extreme side effects with."

"I have Lyme disease, so I got a yeast infection from antibiotic usage. My yeast infection is nothing like you will find. Basically, it just feels like rug burn on the head of my penis. Unfortunately, it rubs in my underwear when I walk around, so it's VERY ANNOYING. I was given Diflucan, and it gave me head pressure, so they gave me Ketoconazole, and it's my second/third day on it. I have NOT seen any substantial improvements. Yes, it's helped, but this should work faster."

"Using this as a treatment for yeast infection and skin infection. It has had a remarkable response to the yeast infection, but not so for the skin."
