Description
Fungotab, containing ketoconazole, is an antifungal medication often used to treat a variety of fungal infections, including skin and nail infections, and sometimes scalp issues like dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis. Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi by interfering with their cell membranes.
Uses
Topical (cream or shampoo): Treats skin conditions like athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and seborrheic dermatitis.
Oral tablet: In certain cases, it can treat systemic fungal infections but is used less frequently due to potential side effects.
Important Considerations
Oral ketoconazole may have serious side effects, including liver toxicity. It’s typically prescribed only when other antifungals are ineffective or unsuitable.
Topical forms are generally safer but can cause skin irritation in some cases.
Avoid using the oral form without a prescription, as it requires medical supervision.
