Description
Ketoconazole 2% Cream is a topical antifungal medication used to treat various fungal skin infections, including ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, and seborrheic dermatitis. The cream works by inhibiting the growth of fungi by interfering with the production of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes.
The cream is applied directly to the affected areas of the skin. It is typically used once or twice daily, depending on the specific condition being treated. The cream should be massaged gently into the affected area, and patients should avoid using it on broken or irritated skin.
Ketoconazole 2% Cream is available in various package sizes and is generally well-tolerated. However, some side effects may occur, such as skin irritation, itching, or redness at the site of application. If severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction appear, medical attention should be sought promptly.
