Abstract

Serious hepatic injury, including liver failure or death, is possible with use of the antifungal ketoconazole (Nizoral). Use of oral ketoconazole is now limited to the treatment of serious fungal disorders that haven't responded to other antifungal drugs or cases in which a patient cannot tolerate other antifungals.
