I was recently prescribed Itraconazole 100mg Capsules to treat a fungal infection in my lungs. The medication has been effective, but I'm curious about the side effects that others might have experienced. During my research, I've read about a variety of urgent and typical side effects. I've been lucky and avoided most of the serious side effects like severe allergic reactions and electrolyte issues. However, I've been experiencing some dizziness and mild stomach pain and wondered if anyone else has had similar issues. Reading reports about severe and potentially life-threatening side effects has me a bit worried, and I'm unsure if every side effect listed is common for everyone. How many of you are taking this drug and have noticed any of these side effects? Is there a way to prevent or mitigate the mild side effects? Has anyone had severe issues and is it worth abandoning the medication? Also, does the severity and frequency of side effects vary by the length of use? Are there any long-term side effects to be aware of? If you've had similar experiences, I'd love to hear about it and any tips you might have. I'm also curious about what people do to help relieve the side effects they face. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
