This assessment is necessary as the medication undergoes metabolism by liver enzymes and impaired liver function can lead to increased drug levels, increasing the risk of side effects and toxicity. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease or cirrhosis. Additionally, disclose any medications you are currently taking because interactions with these drugs may increase the risk of liver toxicity. Your doctor might recommend monitoring liver function (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) and adjusting the dose accordingly.

The typical treatment duration for Tinea pedis (athlete's foot), Tinea corporis (ringworm), and Tinea cruris (jock itch) is about 2 to 4 weeks. The duration may extend up to 6 weeks in some cases. For fungal infections of the nails, the treatment period typically ranges from 6 to 12 weeks. For fingernail fungus, it might take 6 weeks; while for toenail fungus, it might require 12 weeks. However, the exact therapy duration is determined by your doctor based on factors like the type of infection, location, and individual response to treatment.
