HelloI was finally diagnosed with CPA three months ago. Started on Itraconazole 200mg once a day at my request,after six weeks started to show signs of heart failure,leg oedema,increased cough and shortness of breath; along with ecg and blood tests showing changes. Liver function tests also raised. GP stopped Itraconazole and started Furosemide 20mg. Oedema improved fairly quickly. Am awaiting an echocardiogram. Waiting to see what Respiratory consultant suggests now.

400mg a day is a standard dose but it can vary from patient to patient. If at all worried consult your medical team.
