Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Ketokin Dusting Powder contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an imidazole antifungal agent effective against a broad spectrum of dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of superficial fungal infections 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, leading to increased membrane permeability and ultimately fungal cell death. The dusting powder formulation allows for easy application to affected areas, providing a soothing and drying effect that helps reduce moisture and friction, which can exacerbate fungal growth. Ketokin Dusting Powder is suitable for use in adults and children over the age of 12 years. It should be applied once or twice daily to clean, dry skin, with the duration of therapy typically ranging from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the severity and location of the infection. Patients should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes and discontinue use if irritation or hypersensitivity occurs. As with all antifungal treatments, adherence to the full course of therapy is essential to prevent recurrence and resistance.
