Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Ketoford 2% Cream 15gm contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an imidazole antifungal agent indicated for 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. This topical formulation is effective against dermatophytes, yeasts, and other susceptible fungi responsible for conditions such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and pityriasis versicolor. Ketoford 2% Cream is applied once or twice daily to the affected area, ensuring adequate coverage and absorption. Clinical use has demonstrated its efficacy in reducing symptoms such as itching, redness, scaling, and inflammation associated with fungal infections. The cream is generally well tolerated, with minimal adverse effects; however, mild local irritation, burning sensation, or erythema may occur in some patients. It is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any cream excipients. Caution is advised when used on large areas or broken skin. Ketoford 2% Cream should be used under medical supervision, and treatment duration typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the severity and type of infection. Proper hygiene and adherence to prescribed therapy enhance treatment outcomes and reduce recurrence risk.
