The recommended adult dose of ketoconazole is 200 mg once daily with a meal. Occasionally, adults may need to take 400 mg daily. Children's doses are based on their body weight.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

The length of treatment depends on the response to the medication as well as the condition being treated; it can range from 1 week to 12 months.

Ketoconazole should not be taken within 2 hours of taking an antacid. People who have a decreased amount of stomach acid due to medical conditions or certain medications (e.g., H2-antagonists or proton pump inhibitors) should take ketoconazole along with a cola beverage.

It is important to take Apo Ketoconazole exactly as prescribed by the doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Apo Ketoconazole at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Apo Ketoconazole.

Liver function: Ketoconazole may reduce liver function and can cause liver failure. Depending on how long you need to take the medication, your doctor may order blood tests to check your liver function. If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.

If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how Apo Ketoconazole may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Apo Ketoconazole, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Pregnancy: Ketoconazole may cause harm to an unborn baby. Apo Ketoconazole should not be used by pregnant women unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Women who may become pregnant must use an effective form of birth control while taking ketoconazole. If you are a woman of childbearing age, discuss appropriate and effective forms of birth control with your doctor.

Breast-feeding: Apo Ketoconazole passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking ketoconazole, it may affect your baby. Breast-feeding women are encouraged to stop breast-feeding before starting therapy with ketoconazole. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Children: The safety and effectiveness of Apo Ketoconazole have not been established for children. The effect of ketoconazole on hormone production, vitamin D use by the body, and calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood may interfere with the normal growth and development of a child. Ketoconazole should not be given to children unless the benefits outweigh the risks.
