Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Ketogen Cream contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an imidazole antifungal agent effective in the treatment of various superficial fungal infections of the skin. Ketoconazole works 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 indicated for the management of dermatophytosis, candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor, and seborrheic dermatitis. Ketogen Cream is applied once or twice daily to the affected area, ensuring the skin is clean and dry prior to application. The duration of treatment varies depending on the type and severity of infection but typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks. Common adverse effects may include mild local irritation, burning sensation, or erythema at the site of application, which are generally transient and resolve without discontinuation. Ketogen Cream should be used with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any component of the formulation. It is not recommended for use on mucous membranes or in the eyes. Patients are advised to avoid occlusive dressings unless directed by a healthcare professional. Ketogen Cream provides an effective topical option for fungal skin infections, promoting resolution and symptom relief when used as directed.
