Description
Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks

Mode of Action

Ketoconazole interferes w/ biosynthesis of triglycerides and phopholipids by blocking fungal CYP450, thus altering cell membrane permeability in susceptible fungi. It also inhibits other fungal enzymes resulting in the accumulation of toxic concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.

Interaction

Reduced absorption w/ antimuscarinics, antacids, H2-blockers, PPIs, sucralfate. Reduced plasma concentrations w/ rifampicin, isoniazid, efavirenz, nevirapine, phenytoin. May also reduce concentrations of isoniazid and rifampicin. May reduce efficacy of oral contraceptives. May increase serum levels of CYP3A4 substrates e.g. digoxin, oral anticoagulants, sildenafil, tacrolimus. Potentially Fatal: May potentiate and prolong sedative and hypnotic effects of midazolam and triazolam. Increased plasma levels and prolonged QT intervals of astemizole, cisapride, dofetilide, pimozide, quinidine and terfenadine which may lead to torsade de pointes. Increased risk of myopathy w/ HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (e.g. lovastatin, simvastatin). Markedly increased plasma levels of nisoldipine. Increased risk of hyperkalaemia and hypotension w/ eplerenone. Increased risk of vasospasm potentially leading to cerebral ischaemia w/ ergot alkaloids (e.g. ergotamine, dihydroergotamine).
