In Reply to: How safe is Diflucan? How can you take this sort... posted by Bennie Sue on October 14, 2000 at 18:56:19:
Safer than Imitrex, Sansert, Cafergot, and every other CH medication that you can name.
Heh heh, seriously though it's reasonably safe. Lasimil is safer still (at least they probably won't find out that it kills you 20 years later, until 20 years from now).
There is a really good link to get this information on the links page:

Lasimil is a new drug, so you will have to search under it's real name:
Terbinafine HCl
The other drugs sometimes used are:
Diflucan (Fluconazole) , Sporanox (Itraconazole), Nystatin.
Please note that they all react very badly (err fataly in fact) with a variety of other drugs, especially antihistimanes, so be careful if you are prescribed them. Apart from that they are safer and have much less potential side effects that CH medications.
