TREATMENT DATABASE

Nizoral (ketoconazole) is an antifungal used to treat topical fungal infections.

USES IN ME/CFS: Ketoconazole is used less frequently than other antifungals because of its serious side effects, including liver toxicity and endocrine system disturbances. Nizoral can also lower adrenal hormone levels. Although the drug is effective and inexpensive, many physicians are cautious about prescribing it. Patients taking Nizoral generally undergo blood tests, including a liver profile, every thirty days.
