Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Ketorom Cream contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an imidazole antifungal agent effective against a broad spectrum of fungal infections. It is primarily indicated for the topical treatment of dermatophytic infections such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and tinea pedis, as well as candidiasis of the skin 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 cream formulation allows for localized application, minimizing systemic absorption and reducing the risk of systemic side effects. Ketorom Cream should be applied to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional, and treatment duration typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the severity and type of infection. It is important to continue therapy for the prescribed duration even if symptoms improve early to prevent recurrence.
Patients should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, and discontinue use if irritation or hypersensitivity occurs. Ketorom Cream is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any cream excipients.
How to use Ketorom Cream This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
