took the med the same time everyday and made sure that I worked up a good sweat 20 minutes after taking med. Did not drink alcohol and stayed away from things that are fermented. Spots have not returned. So very thankful that I found this med.

I took this medication for a condition known as Tinea Versicolor. It causes splotches on the skin, caused by an abnormally high presence of yeast fungus. It's not contagious or bothersome, it just causes a splotchy/discored appearance. It reoccurs every few years, most common among younger, active people. The best times to take it, I've discovered, are after a period of activity in which I've bro ... Show Full Comment

I took this medication for a condition known as Tinea Versicolor. It causes splotches on the skin, caused by an abnormally high presence of yeast fungus. It's not contagious or bothersome, it just causes a splotchy/discored appearance. It reoccurs every few years, most common among younger, active people. The best times to take it, I've discovered, are after a period of activity in which I've broken a sweat and have had something to eat. The discoloration after the medication is not from the medication, but from the abscence of the fungus in the treated area. These go away naturally in 4-6 weeks (or my first two weeks at the pool in which my tan begins to work). I've taken this medication along with a topical shampoo on three occasions and the Tinae Versicolor usually stays away for two years or so. DO NOT DRINK ON THIS MEDICATION it can cause liver damage, try to at least have eaten or drink a full glass of milk with it. Hope this helps!

I had a funky looking fungal infection that covered most of my back. It had been spreading for months (I was waiting for insurance to come through b4 I could go to the doctor).

Once I got to the doctor and took the ketoconazole it began to clear up within a couple of days and now, 2 weeks later, it seems to have disappeared completely. So I'd say it's pretty effective. Side Effects: The first two days I was seriously dizzy but that went away and I didn't notice any other side effects for the remainder of the 2 weeks. One note: my skin has been extra itchy in the last couple of weeks(especially my face) but I have ridiculously sensitive skin that is always itchy so I don't think it's related to the medication but it might be so I figured I should mention it.

My skin will break out once per year during the summer months. The infection only appears on my upper body, chest and back. The spots are dark brown in color. When I take the medication, I take it with food to avoid any stomach issues, no problem there. The pills are small and easy to take. I take it with right after eating breakfast in the morning.

My skin will break out once per year during the summer months. The infection only appears on my upper body, chest and back. The spots are dark brown in color. When I take the medication, I take it with food to avoid any stomach issues, no problem there. The pills are small and easy to take. I take it with right after eating breakfast in the morning. Because I know for sure these pills wreaks havoc my the liver, I DRINK TONS OF water during the day. Next, and this one is tough, I DO NOT DRINK ANY ALCOHOL WHILE USING THIS DRUG FOR A MONTH, again to protect my liver as best I can. Also, I don't sleep very well so normally I would take Tylenol PM, while using this drug, I DO NOT us T-PM. As far as side effects, I have two. First, I get tired earlier now, like around 8 or 9 PM I'm ready for bed, rather than by 11 or Midnight. Second, I get really hot so I turn my AC down to about 75.
