Ketostar Cream is a topical medicine that is applied externally on the skin. It should not be taken orally or internally.

• Ketoconazole works by destroying the cell membrane of the fungus that causes skin infections.
• It prevents the growth of fungi by inhibiting an enzyme called lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase.
• This enzyme is essential for the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes.
• By disrupting ergosterol production, ketoconazole weakens the cell membrane structure and kills the fungus.
• Ketoconazole also interferes with the synthesis of other essential components in fungal cells.
• It targets specific proteins involved in fungal metabolism and disrupts their functioning.
• This disruption hinders the growth and survival of fungi responsible for skin infections.
• By targeting these crucial processes in fungal cells, ketoconazole effectively manages various types of fungal skin infections when applied topically through Ketostar Cream.
