Ketodust 200mg Tablet contains Ketoconazole, an imidazole antifungal agent effective against a broad spectrum of fungal infections. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of systemic and superficial mycoses caused by susceptible fungi, including dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds. 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. This medication is commonly prescribed for conditions such as tinea infections (ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch), candidiasis, and seborrheic dermatitis. Ketodust should be used under medical supervision, with dosage and duration tailored to the specific infection and patient response. It is important to administer the tablet with food to enhance absorption. Caution is advised in patients with hepatic impairment, as Ketoconazole has been associated with hepatotoxicity; liver function tests should be monitored during prolonged therapy. Potential side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, and, rarely, allergic reactions. Ketodust is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Ketoconazole or other azole antifungals. Concomitant use with certain drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes may result in significant drug interactions; therefore, a thorough medication review is essential prior to initiation.
