Why is Nizoral prescribed ?
Nizoral, a broad-spectrum antifungal drug available in tablet
form, may be given to treat several fungal infections within
the body, including oral thrush and candidiasis. Nizoral may
also be given to treat severe, hard-to-treat fungal skin infections
that have not cleared up after treatment with creams or ointments,
or the oral drug griseofulvin (Fulvicin, Grisactin).
Most important fact about Nizoral
In some people, Nizoral may cause serious or even fatal damage
to the liver. Before starting to take Nizoral, and at frequent
intervals while you are taking Nizoral, you should have blood
tests to evaluate your liver function. Tell your doctor immediately
if you experience any signs or symptoms that could mean liver
damage: these include unusual fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea
or vomiting, jaundice, dark urine, or pale stools.
How should you take Nizoral ?
Take Nizoral exactly as prescribed.
You should keep taking the drug until tests show that your
fungal infection has subsided. If you stop too soon, the infection
might return.
You may want to take Nizoral Tablets with meals to avoid
stomach upset.
Avoid alcohol and do not take with antacids. If antacids
are necessary, you should wait 2 to 3 hours before taking
them.
If you miss a dose of Nizoral
Take the forgotten dose of Nizoral as soon as you remember.
This will help to keep the proper amount of Nizoral in the
body. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip
the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do
not take double doses.
Storage instructions for Nizoral
Nizoral should be stored at room temperature.

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your
doctor immediately. Nizoral should be taken during pregnancy
only if the benefit outweighs the possible harm to your unborn
child. Since Nizoral can probably make its way into breast
milk, Nizoral should not be taken during breastfeeding. If
you are a new mother, check with your doctor. You may need
to stop breastfeeding while you are taking Nizoral.
