I am taking Itrol SB 65mg Capsule for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?

Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done?
Your doctor may have ordered blood tests to monitor your liver function, as Itrol SB 65mg Capsule can cause serious liver damage.

My doctor prescribed Itrol SB 65mg Capsule to me but not to my friend who had a similar fungal infection because she was on dofetilide. Why is it so?
