AMPHOTERICIN B vs KETOCONAZOLE

Just want to know if anyone has had this experience before. It was an unfortunate case of a young man having seen countless specialists and had countless imaging tests, and I’m sure out of desperation sent in a sample of his blood to this American site who charged him some $380 for this. The report

Hi everyone. I’m posting this anonymized case on behalf of a patient I’m closely involved with, looking for input from other clinicians (especially pulmonologists, rheumatologists, ID, or ILD-experienced colleagues). We’re hitting a wall and would appreciate outside perspective. ⸻ Patient: 37F, prev

32, Female, non-smoker A little backstory: I've had this issue for a decade now. I noticed yellowing on the edges of my big toenails when I was about 20-21. Embarrassed, I never went to the doctor about it. I tried home remedies over the years all while keeping it a secret from family and friends.

Patient came into the pharmacy (24 hours, I’m overnight) with a rash, asking what to use Urgent care gave them some ketoconazole, but the rash is spreading. Went through the whole did you change detergents, soaps etc, nothing changed. Brought up that they started Wellbutrin 3 weeks ago. Bingo, SJS.

Today I had the following gems: - “I don’t understand why you can’t just give it to me. Ketoconazole 2% shampoo is harmless! Why do I need a prescription when it’s not much more than the 1% OTC! If I applied 1% in the morning and 1% in the evening….is that not the same thing as 2%?” - a patient w

This post is sponsored by me opening up ketoconazole 2% shampoo to find that its brightly colored orange, at least the manufacturer we carry is. Anyone else have any interesting stories?

So the other day, we got a script with the directions along the lines of “take 1 tablet by mouth, wait two hours, get sweaty, then take 1 tablet.” We called the office to verify it, and they acted like we were the morons for calling about it. Does anyone have any idea what the purpose of this is? L

I was a little confused by a question that asked if I would make ketoconazole (powder) in ointment or paste. The quickest reasoning I had was to make it in paste because this formulation contains more powder (about 20 \~ 25%) but ketoconazole is usually sold in cream. Help?*📷*

Does anyone know if it’s safe to use ketoconazole cream if the patient has an allergy to fluconazole? Or if they have a systemic allergy to flagyl but safe to use vandazole? Can’t really find anything out there and don’t really recall anything from class. Thanks in advance
