About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Ketafung-AF Anti-Infective Body Wash contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent effective against various fungal infections of the skin. Ketoconazole belongs to the imidazole class of antifungals and acts by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and cell death. This medicated body wash is indicated for the treatment and management of superficial fungal infections such as tinea versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, and candidiasis affecting the body. Ketafung-AF is formulated for topical use and is suitable for daily cleansing of affected areas, providing both therapeutic and preventive benefits. Regular use helps reduce fungal colonization, alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and scaling, and prevent recurrence. The formulation is designed to be gentle on the skin while maintaining antifungal efficacy. Patients should apply the body wash to wet skin, lather, and leave it on for several minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Use as directed by a healthcare professional is essential to ensure optimal outcomes and minimize potential adverse effects. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a physician if symptoms persist.
