Started on voriconazole today. 200 mg twice a day. Are the side effects really bad?

Some people have none at all (or very mild), some experience several. Read the notes provided in your pack of capsules so that you are aware and can recognise any adverse effects before they get too severe, then report to your doctor if they appear. He/she may advise decreasing your dose. You should not have to experience anything you are unwilling to put up with and your doctor will advise.

I have no side effects. Before taking it I would lay in bed in pain for years. But when I took my first dose the pain lessened so I still take it
