Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Hi All, I just received my cdsa results from great smokies. I have Candida albicans 2+, candida krusei 2+, and Cryptococcus neaformans 4+. My doctor just put me on Sporanox to get rid of these bad bugs. They showed resistance to nystatin and i've never taken that or any other prescription antifungals ever. I was on antibiotics for over a year for acne. Does anyone know how long I should take the Sporonax?? Does it usually take several months to clear these fungal infections? I'm on a strict diet and taking Primal Defense as well as another good probiotic and other supplements as well. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 I have been on Sporanox for quite some time as I have been slow to respond---had taken it previously also. But I have been able to reduce it significantly without a return of symptoms. How high of a dose are you on??? I started on 400 mg. a day.

I haven't been active on here lately as today was the FIRST day in MONTHS that I received an email from the list (anyone else on here have that happen to them?). Anyway, I had a 4+ on candida, and have been taking sporanox (2-100 mg pills at night). When I see my dr. in March, it will have been 3 months since I started the medication. Prior to taking the sporanox my dr. ordered a liver detox test as well. I'm on so many supplements I can't list them all, but for my liver I'm taking NAC. I'm sure onmy next visit she will want to do another stool test. BTW, I've also had an EFA test and tons of bloodtests and a couple of saliva tests. If you want info on any of these please ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Hi I'm on 200 mg daily of the Sporanox and have already noticed some mild improvement in gut symtoms. I've been on it four days now. My doctor has initially only given me 10 days worth. I think he wants a liver panel after this before he'll prescribe more. . Have you been on it continously or has your doctor been pulsing the dose due to the potential for liver damage? I understand it can be quite toxic to the liver for prolonged periods. I would appreciate any other feedback concerning dosage and length of dosage from you or anyone else that has been on this drug. I'm not sure how long I need to be on it for a 4+ fungal overgrowth.
