Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Ketovate Cream contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an antifungal agent indicated for the treatment of various superficial fungal infections of the skin. Ketoconazole is an imidazole derivative that exerts its antifungal effect by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to fungal cell death. Ketovate Cream is primarily used to manage dermatophytosis, candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor, and seborrheic dermatitis caused by susceptible fungi. The cream formulation allows for topical application, providing localized antifungal activity with minimal systemic absorption. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of Ketovate Cream to the affected area once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the infection, for a duration typically ranging from 2 to 4 weeks or as directed by a healthcare professional. Patients should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes and discontinue use if irritation or hypersensitivity reactions occur. Ketovate Cream is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any excipients in the formulation. Proper hygiene and adherence to the prescribed regimen are essential to ensure effective treatment and prevent recurrence.
