Ketoconazole (2% w/w)
Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Nizral Cream, containing 2% w/w Ketoconazole, is a topical antifungal preparation indicated for the treatment of dermatophytosis, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, tinea faciei, and tinea manus in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older. The cream base provides easy application and penetration into affected areas. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby causing fungal cell death. The use of Nizral Cream should be under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Common adverse effects include skin irritation, burning, and stinging at the application site. Avoid use in pregnant women unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk. For optimal results, follow the prescribed regimen and avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
