Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat infections caused by fungi and yeasts. It is available as a cream, shampoo, or tablets and is used for conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, tinea versicolor (a fungal skin infection), and other fungal infections of the skin or scalp.
In oral form, ketoconazole is used less frequently due to the risk of serious side effects, such as liver damage. It is reserved for severe fungal infections that do not respond to other treatments. Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, leading to the destruction of the fungi.
Side effects may include local irritation (for topical use), nausea, abdominal pain, or, in rare cases, liver toxicity (for oral use). It is important to use the medication as directed by a doctor, especially for oral treatment.
