About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Ketafung Cream contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent used for the treatment of various superficial fungal infections. Ketoconazole is an imidazole derivative that exerts its antifungal effect by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to fungal cell death. Ketafung Cream is indicated for the management of dermatophytosis, candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor, and seborrheic dermatitis affecting the skin. It is suitable for topical application on affected areas, providing targeted antifungal activity with minimal systemic absorption. The cream formulation ensures ease of application and good skin penetration. Ketafung Cream should be applied once or twice daily to the affected area after cleansing and drying the skin, continuing treatment for at least 2 to 4 weeks or as directed by a healthcare professional to prevent recurrence. Common adverse effects are generally mild and may include local irritation, burning sensation, or itching at the site of application. Use of Ketafung Cream is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any of the cream excipients. Caution is advised in patients with extensive skin lesions or open wounds. It is not recommended for use in mucous membranes or ocular areas.
