Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
KZ-XL Cream contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent effective against various dermatophytes, yeasts, and fungi responsible for superficial mycoses. Ketoconazole, an imidazole derivative, acts by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and ultimately fungal cell death. KZ-XL Cream is indicated for the topical treatment of fungal infections such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and pityriasis versicolor. It is also effective against seborrheic dermatitis caused by Malassezia species. The cream formulation facilitates easy application and ensures optimal skin penetration. KZ-XL Cream should be applied once or twice daily to the affected area after cleansing and drying the skin, continuing treatment for the duration prescribed by a healthcare professional, typically 2 to 4 weeks, to prevent recurrence. Adverse effects are generally mild and may include local irritation, burning sensation, or erythema. Use with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any excipients. KZ-XL Cream is not intended for ophthalmic, oral, or intravaginal use. Consult a healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or lactation. Proper adherence to treatment guidelines ensures effective resolution of fungal infections with minimal risk of resistance development.
