"I've taken Sporanox twice in the last 20 years. Both times it was very effective. Both times I took it to clear up toenail fungus. The first time it had the added benefit of clearing up my Iritis. I had a persistent Iritis inflammation problem before using Sporonox and have not had a single case since. The second time it effected my heart in a seriously detrimental way. I was driving and had to pull off the road and pass out. I recovered completely but will never take this particular medication again. This drug is not to be used by patients with ANY history of heart disease."

"I do not have enough good things to say about this drug. I (unknowingly) lived in a dwelling with high levels of black mold for several years. At one point I developed a severe, dry, unrelenting cough that NOTHING would ameliorate. Visits to ER and two pulmonologists showed nothing. Someone mentioned mold. I had some tests done on my home that came back high levels of Stachybotrys and Aspergillus. I knew there had to be a connection. My PCP is an intelligent and open-minded doctor, so he agreed to let me try Sporanox for a month. OMG two weeks in I felt like someone had given me my life back. I ended up being on Sporanox for four months, but in that time my cough, which two pulmonologists claimed was not caused by mold, went away and never came back. Severe pain in both sides of lower jaw - gone. Severe ear pain - gone. Constant head pressure and headaches - gone. Gut issues - gone. An ID told me mold does not colonize in the body. Oh, okay."
