Relevance: 23.07.2019 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of itraconazole has been rarely associated with hepatotoxicity. Reversible idiosyncratic hepatitis and fatalities have been reported, the latter occurring primarily in patients with serious underlying medical conditions and taking multiple concomitant medications. Liver function tests should be performed periodically in patients with preexisting hepatic abnormalities, particularly when itraconazole therapy is administered continuously for more than one month. Therapy should be withdrawn if persistent elevations or worsening of liver enzyme levels occur. Because itraconazole is also extensively metabolized by the liver, patients with liver disease should be monitored carefully during treatment with itraconazole, and the dosing adjusted or discontinued if necessary.
