Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Ketorex 2% Cream contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an imidazole antifungal agent effective against a broad spectrum of dermatophytes, yeasts, and fungi responsible for superficial fungal infections. It is indicated for the topical treatment of conditions such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and pityriasis versicolor. Ketoconazole exerts its antifungal action by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and ultimately fungal cell death. The cream formulation facilitates localized delivery, minimizing systemic absorption and reducing the risk of systemic side effects. Ketorex 2% Cream should be applied once or twice daily to the affected area and surrounding skin after thorough cleansing and drying. Treatment duration typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the severity and type of infection. Patients should be advised to avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes and to discontinue use if irritation or hypersensitivity reactions occur. Ketorex 2% Cream is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any excipients in the formulation. Proper adherence to prescribed treatment ensures optimal therapeutic outcomes in managing superficial fungal infections.
