Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Ketobact Cream contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an antifungal agent belonging to the imidazole class, indicated for the treatment of various superficial fungal infections of the skin. Ketoconazole exerts its effect by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and ultimately fungal cell death. Ketobact Cream is effective against dermatophytes, yeasts including Candida species, and Malassezia furfur, making it suitable for conditions such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, pityriasis versicolor, and cutaneous candidiasis. The cream formulation allows for topical application, providing localized antifungal activity with minimal systemic absorption, thereby reducing the risk of systemic side effects. It is generally well tolerated; however, mild local reactions such as burning, itching, or irritation may occur in some patients. Ketobact Cream should be applied to the affected area once or twice daily as directed by a healthcare professional, typically for a duration of 2 to 4 weeks depending on the severity and type of infection. Patients are advised to maintain good hygiene and avoid occlusive dressings unless prescribed. Use during pregnancy and lactation should be under medical supervision. Ketobact Cream offers an effective and convenient option for managing superficial fungal infections.
