Mohammad Salarkia, deputy head of Tehran's Justice Department, said Ganji is being monitored by prison doctors two or three times a day.
Ganji was sentenced to six years in jail in 2001 after writing articles accusing authorities of murdering dissidents.
Ganji's family members say he has lost more than 18 kilograms during a monthlong hunger strike aimed at securing his release.
The United States, the European Union, rights groups, and Iranian student activists have called for Ganji's release.
