I have been taking itraconazole for lung fungus for 6 weeks. The dose was increased to 200mg twice daily but it causes me really bad nausea. Is there anything I can take to counteract the nausea? ## Are you making sure to take it with food, rather than on an empty stomach? As reported by the NIH, that sometimes helps prevent the nausea. Other side effects are listed as possibly including dizziness, headache, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Are you on any other medications? ## Thanks. Always take itraconazole with food - never on empty stomach. Also take Adizem and Enalapril for hypertension.

Can itraconazole be used for the treatment of scabies? Any studies done? If yes, how is it used in scabies? Thanks ## Hello, Neuronal! How are you? No, this is an antifungal medication, so it will not do anything to treat scabies, which is a type of skin mite that is very similar to lice. It requires a specific medication that can dry out the top layer of skin and kill the mites. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as skin irritation, redness, rash and peeling skin. Have you consulted your doctor?

Hello, I've have resistant ringworm for awhile now. I usually take oral terbinafine and it clears up but comes back about 3 months later. My dermatologist has prescribed Itraconazole 100 MG to take twice daily for 14 days. The listed bad side effects of this medicine worried me. Also, I have read that if you take 200 MG per day, you should only take for 7 days and then wait three weeks. Is it safe to take this medicine at this dose? I'm 52 years old and don't take any other medicines. Please advise! ## Hello, Kathy! How are you? What particular side effects worried you? Perhaps if you are more specific, those can be addressed, and someone can give you more information on how likely they are to occur, and how severe they might be.
