About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Ketafung 2% Soap contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an antifungal agent effective in the treatment of various superficial fungal infections. Ketoconazole belongs to the imidazole class of antifungals and acts by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to fungal cell death. Ketafung 2% Soap is indicated for the management of dermatophytosis, candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor, and seborrheic dermatitis. The soap formulation allows for topical application, providing localized antifungal activity with minimal systemic absorption. It is suitable for use on affected areas of the skin, including the face, body, and scalp, where fungal infections commonly occur. For optimal results, the soap should be applied to the affected area, lathered, and left in contact for several minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Treatment duration typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the severity and type of infection. Ketafung 2% Soap is generally well tolerated; however, mild skin irritation or dryness may occur. Use with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any soap ingredients. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Discontinue use if severe irritation develops and consult a healthcare professional.
