This study examines the effectiveness and potential side effects of ketoconazole, an antifungal medication. The researchers investigated the overall tolerability of ketoconazole and identified specific side effects that could occur with its use.

This finding emphasizes the importance of monitoring liver function in patients receiving ketoconazole. The study also noted that high doses of ketoconazole can interfere with testosterone production.
