Description
Usage
Ketoral Cream is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as Eczema, athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and seborrhea (dry, flaking skin). It is also an effective treatment for skin infections like athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and certain types of dandruff. Additionally, this medication is used to treat pityriasis (tinea versicolor), a fungal infection that can cause lightening or darkening of the skin on the neck, chest, arms, or legs.
How to use
Before using Ketoral Cream, make sure to clean and thoroughly dry the affected area. Apply the medication to the affected skin once or twice a day, or as directed by your doctor. The dosage and length of treatment will depend on the type of infection being treated. Do not apply the cream more often than prescribed, as this will not clear your condition faster and may increase side effects. Be sure to apply enough medication to cover the affected skin and some of the surrounding skin. After applying the cream, wash your hands thoroughly. Do not wrap, cover, or bandage the area unless directed to do so by your doctor. Avoid applying the medication in the eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina.
How it Works
Ketoral Cream works by interfering with the biosynthesis of triglycerides and phopholipids. It does this by blocking fungal CYP450, which alters cell membrane permeability in susceptible fungi. Additionally, it inhibits other fungal enzymes, leading to the accumulation of toxic concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Like other azole antifungals, Ketoral is a fungistatic agent that causes growth arrest in fungal cells, preventing the growth and spread of the fungus throughout the body.
Side Effects
While Ketoral Cream is generally well-tolerated, like all medications, it may cause some side effects. Some of the less common side effects of the cream, foam, or gel include itching, stinging, burning, or irritation that was not present before use of this medicine. Rare side effects for cream, foam, or gel include acne, bleeding from sore in the mouth, blistering, crusting, irritation, itching, or reddening of the skin, burning, crawling, itching, numbness, prickling, or tingling feelings.
If you experience any side effects while using Ketoral Cream, it is important to speak with your doctor immediately. They can help you determine whether the side effects are severe enough to require medical attention or if they are simply a minor inconvenience. In any case, it is always better to err on the side of caution and seek medical advice if you are experiencing any discomfort or unwanted effects from a medication.
Conclusion
Ketoral Cream is an effective antifungal medication that provides relief from a variety of skin infections. By understanding how it works and using it as directed, you can effectively manage your fungal infection and get back to feeling comfortable in your own skin.
