Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Hyphoral 2% Cream contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an imidazole antifungal agent effective in the treatment of various superficial fungal infections of the skin. Ketoconazole acts by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to fungal cell death. Hyphoral 2% Cream is indicated for the management of dermatophytosis, candidiasis, and pityriasis versicolor. The cream formulation allows for topical application, delivering targeted antifungal activity with minimal systemic absorption. It is suitable for use on affected areas such as the body, face, and scalp, depending on the clinical presentation. The recommended dosage involves applying a thin layer of the cream to the affected area once or twice daily, typically for a duration of 2 to 4 weeks, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Patients should be advised to continue treatment for the full prescribed period to prevent recurrence. Common side effects may include mild local irritation, burning sensation, or erythema at the application site. Hyphoral 2% Cream should be used with caution in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any cream excipients. It is not recommended for use on mucous membranes or in the eyes.
