Cresemba Reviews

"YOU CANNOT RATE A SPECIFIC ANTIMYCOTIC JUST LIKE THAT. FACTORS INCLUDING: SPECIES, ORGANISM SENSITIVITY, DURATION AND DOSE OF TREATMENT, PATIENT TOLERANCE, ETC. ARE ALL CONTRIBUTORY TO DRUG SELECTION. THIS IS MISLEADING DATA. Jay Trabin, MD ISSVD, NVA Specializing in lower genital tract disease."


"After kidney functions too high with amphotericin b, and an allergic reaction to itraconazole - cresemba was prescribed to treat my disseminated histoplasmosis. Nausea and stomach pain are constant, strange saliva feelings and change of taste also present. Elevated liver enzymes but not so high to discontinue treatment. I’m 3 months into my treatment and wish I were finished. Hope it’s doing it’s job! I can’t comment on efficacy as of yet so I’m rating it 50/50. Lol"
