What was your experience with Voriconazole?

@tconz Vfend can cause skin issues which I’m sure Rick will explain to you. I was on Vfend forever ( a year or more) and I did get a skin rash similar to what you are describing. It was short lived and clearly may have been from something else. My main side effect was my eyes going wonky and things looking yellowy for a few hours after I took it. That lasted a few months - nothing painful, and then I took it with no side effects . I had to have monthly blood tests at UMASS for the Vfend levels. That is important. Good luck. irene5

Thanks so much for the info and I am hoping the rash goes away like yours did because I really want to finish my 6 month treatment on Voriconazole. My bloodwork is being monitored very carefully as well.

Irene-
How long have you had Bronchiectasis with diagnosis of it and possibly before diagnosis. You have certainly been through a lot of medications and therefore have lots of that thing called perseverance. I hope i have enough of that thing called perseverance when I am told "you need to go on antibiotics"... etc. As I have said before at 81 and 11 months I will think long and hard about going on antibiotics.
Did you have it while teaching? I think that is what you said, you taught school.
