penicillium citrinum
I have been diagnosed with a fungal mold, penicillium citrinum. I started voriconazole 200 mg 2 days ago and have had awful side effects. Trying to find someone that has been treated.

I don’t have experience with this particular fungal mold but I’ve read here that there’s an alternate fungal medication with fewer side effects, cresemba. It’s not covered by insurance and so it’s an out-of-pocket payment which is pricey but might be worth it if it’s only a short period you need to be on the medication.

Can you say more about how you were diagnosed and what your symptoms are? And what side effects you are having and where do you receive your treatment. Sometimes this info helps with responses from others.
