Ketoral Cream 30g 2%
Ketoral Cream (2%) is a reliable topical antifungal treatment used to manage various fungal skin infections. It contains Ketoconazole, a powerful agent that stops the growth of fungi by disrupting their cell membranes. This cream is widely used in Nigeria for its effectiveness against common skin conditions like ringworm and athlete's foot.
What is Ketoral Cream Used For?
Ketoral Cream is indicated for the treatment of several mycotic skin infections, including:
- Tinea Corporis (Ringworm): Red, itchy, circular rashes on the body.
- Tinea Pedis (Athlete's Foot): Fungal infection affecting the skin between the toes.
- Tinea Cruris (Jock Itch): Fungal infection in the groin or inner thighs.
- Cutaneous Candidiasis: Often referred to locally as part of "toilet infection" symptoms affecting the skin.
- Seborrheic Dermatitis: A skin condition that causes scaly patches and red skin, often on the face or scalp.
Key Benefits
- Fast Symptom Relief: Quickly eases itching, redness, and scaling.
- Broad-Spectrum Action: Works against a wide variety of fungi and yeasts.
- Non-Greasy Formula: Absorbs easily into the skin without leaving a messy residue.
- Targeted Treatment: Acts directly on the site of infection for efficient recovery.
How to Use Ketoral Cream
For the best results, follow these steps or the instructions from your GoMed pharmacist:
- Prepare the Area: Wash the affected skin and dry it thoroughly before application.
- Apply Thinly: Spread a thin layer of Ketoral Cream over the affected area and slightly onto the surrounding healthy skin.
- Frequency: Apply once or twice daily depending on the severity and your doctor's advice.
- Consistency: Continue treatment for the full duration (usually 2 to 4 weeks) even if symptoms disappear early. This prevents the infection from returning.
Important Precautions
- External Use Only: Avoid contact with eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Skin Sensitivity: If you experience severe burning or allergic reactions, stop use and consult a healthcare professional.
- Consultation: If symptoms do not improve after 4 weeks, please speak with a doctor or a GoMed pharmacist for further guidance.
