Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
KZ Cream contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an imidazole antifungal agent effective in the treatment of various superficial fungal infections. Ketoconazole acts by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and ultimately fungal cell death. This topical formulation is indicated for the management of dermatophytosis, candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor, and seborrheic dermatitis. KZ Cream is applied once or twice daily to the affected area, ensuring the skin is clean and dry prior to application. The cream should be used consistently for the prescribed duration, typically ranging from 2 to 4 weeks, to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes and prevent recurrence. Adverse effects are generally mild and may include local irritation, burning sensation, or erythema at the site of application. KZ Cream is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any of the cream’s excipients. Caution is advised when used on large surface areas or broken skin. Due to minimal systemic absorption, systemic side effects are rare. Patients should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If irritation persists or worsens, medical advice should be sought promptly. KZ Cream offers an effective topical solution for fungal infections with a favorable safety profile when used as directed.
