Guest guest Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I was recently diagnosed with IPF (June 2009) Along with IPf came a diagnosis os aspergillosis from a broncoscopy biopsy. This fungus is rare and usually in patients with compromised immune systems. (Aids, Leukemia, autoimmune diseases) I have none. My Dr. put me on a medication called Itraconazole 100 mg twice daily. This drug is very expensive but covered by my insurance, however, it has thrown me into the donut hole for continued use and the cost of my other drugs (8). I thought I had no chose but to use it. Now my internal medicine Dr. is questioning how necessary it is to continue to use it. Is anyone out there familiar with the drug and have any suggestions what I could do.
