Active composition
Ketoconazole
How It Works
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Uses & Benefits
Medical applications
InfectionSkinFungal
Ketax Cream contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an imidazole antifungal agent effective against a broad spectrum of fungal infections. It is primarily indicated for the topical treatment of superficial mycoses caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and other susceptible fungi, including conditions such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and pityriasis versicolor. Ketoconazole exerts its antifungal action by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to fungal cell death.

It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any excipients in the formulation.
