Ketoconazole-yeast/athletes infection

2018-01-03 16:57:57
I have a mild case of yeast infection that comes and goes for the past 4 months and an on going infection of athletes foot that I've been trying to get rid of for the past 6 months. I read that the anti fungal Ketoconazole can treat both of these fungi. I don't take other medications. But I've had gastrointestinal problems. Can I take this medication? Is it safe for me to try? Thank you!
