Ketral 2% Scalp Solution contains Ketoconazole 2% w/v, an antifungal agent primarily used for the treatment of fungal infections affecting the scalp. Ketoconazole belongs to the imidazole class of antifungals and exerts its effect by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to fungal cell death. Ketral 2% Scalp Solution is indicated for the management of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and other superficial fungal infections such as pityriasis versicolor caused by Malassezia species. The topical formulation allows for targeted application to affected areas, minimizing systemic absorption and associated adverse effects. It is typically applied to the scalp once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition, and should be used consistently for the prescribed duration to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes. Common side effects may include mild local irritation, itching, or dryness at the application site. Patients are advised to avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Ketral 2% Scalp Solution is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any formulation components. Consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended prior to use, especially in pregnant or breastfeeding women.
