Indications:
Used for treatment of fungal infections of the skin including tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), tinea versicolor, and seborrheic dermatitis.

Pharmacology:
Ketoconazole is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes, leading to impaired synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This disrupts membrane integrity causing fungal cell death.

Administration:
Lather the soap on the affected area, leave it for 2-3 minutes, then rinse off with water.

Interaction:
Minimal systemic absorption; unlikely to interact significantly with other medications when used topically.

Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any ingredient in the soap.

Side Effects:
May cause mild irritation, itching, or dryness at the site of application.
