Check out the drug websites for more info on side effects and drug interactionsand what you can and should be looking for but you shoul dask your doctor about getting your liver tested weekly or bi-weekly--these are powerful drugs On that kind of a dose, I would think your doctor should be monitoring liver

I've read a few places that sometimes it takes 30 to 60 days of oral anti-fungals to really nip it in the bud. I'm curious as to the statistics of liver damage at what dose and for how long. Anyone been on oral antifungals for at least 30 days? Thanks for the reply,

I think they usally prescrive oral anit-fungals for this but you should try topicals first as the orals carry some risks Yes–it looks and acts alot like seb derm but I think is more like pimples
