Ketoral Tablets

Effective Antifungal Treatment for a Range of Fungal Infections

Ketoral Tablets contain Ketoconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections that affect the skin, nails, scalp, and other parts of the body. Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, targeting infections such as tinea, candidiasis, ringworm, and seborrheic dermatitis. Ketoral Tablets are typically prescribed for both superficial and systemic fungal infections, offering an effective treatment option for persistent or severe fungal conditions.

Active Ingredient

• Ketoconazole (200mg): A powerful antifungal agent that works by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This weakens the fungal cells, preventing them from growing and spreading.

Key Benefits of Ketoral Tablets

• Treats a Wide Range of Fungal Infections: Effective in treating both superficial fungal infections (such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm) and more severe systemic infections.
• Prevents Fungal Growth: Ketoconazole inhibits the production of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes, effectively stopping the growth of fungi.
• Effective Against Yeast Infections: Suitable for treating yeast infections like candidiasis, affecting areas such as the mouth, throat, esophagus, and skin.
• Helps Control Seborrheic Dermatitis: Often prescribed for the treatment of fungal skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff.
• Oral Administration: Convenient oral tablet form for easy administration, ensuring the medication reaches deeper layers of the body to treat systemic infections.

How to Use

• Dosage: The typical adult dose is one tablet (200mg) once daily, or as prescribed by your healthcare provider. In some cases, the dose may be increased depending on the severity of the infection.
• Duration: Treatment duration varies based on the type and severity of the infection. For certain infections, treatment may last several weeks to ensure complete eradication.
• With Food: Take Ketoral Tablets with food to enhance absorption and minimize the risk of stomach upset.

• Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, headache, dizziness, and abdominal discomfort. Serious side effects such as signs of liver damage (yellowing of the skin/eyes, dark urine) require immediate medical attention.
• Drug Interactions: Ketoral can interact with several medications, including antacids, certain antibiotics, and heart medications. Always inform your healthcare provider about any other medications or supplements you are taking.
• Consult a Doctor: Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. Do not stop taking the medication early, as this may cause the infection to return.
