Pregnancy-Lactation
Pregnancy
There are no available data on use in pregnant women to identify a drug-associated risk of birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes; no reproductive studies in animals have been performed; in animal reproduction studies with pregnant mice, rats and rabbits both embryotoxic and developmental effects (structural abnormalities) were observed following oral dosing of ketoconazole during organogenesis; assuming equivalent systemic absorption of topical and oral ketoconazole doses and a maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 8 grams (equivalent to 160 mg ketoconazole), embryotoxic effects were observed at 0.8 to 2.4 times the MRHD and developmental effects were observed at 4.8 times the MRHD
Infertility
In animal fertility studies in rats and dogs, administration of oral doses of ketoconazole between 3-day and 3-month periods resulted in infertility that was reversible
Lactation
There is no information available on presence of ketoconazole in human milk, or effects on breastfed child, or effects on milk production after topical application to women who are breastfeeding; in animal studies ketoconazole was found in milk following oral administration; the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from treatment or from underlying maternal condition

Increased plasma levels and prolonged QT intervals of astemizole, cisapride, dofetilide, pimozide, quinidine and terfenadine which may lead to torsade de pointes. Increased risk of myopathy w/ HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (e.g. lovastatin, simvastatin). Markedly increased plasma levels of nisoldipine.
