Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Ketanix Soap contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an antifungal agent effective in the treatment of various fungal infections of the skin. Ketoconazole is a synthetic imidazole derivative that inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to cell death. Ketanix Soap is indicated for the management of superficial mycoses such as tinea versicolor, dermatophytosis, and candidiasis. It is also beneficial in controlling seborrheic dermatitis by reducing the proliferation of Malassezia species on the skin. The soap formulation allows for topical application, providing localized antifungal activity with minimal systemic absorption. For optimal results, the affected area should be lathered with Ketanix Soap and rinsed thoroughly, typically twice daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. Patients should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Adverse effects are generally mild and may include local irritation, dryness, or itching. Ketanix Soap is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any of its excipients. It is recommended to complete the full course of treatment to prevent recurrence and resistance. Consult a healthcare provider before use in pregnant or lactating women.
