Ketomac Cream 30gm

Ketomac Cream is used to treat skin infections caused by fungi, including athlete's foot, ringworm, vaginal thrush, and sweat rash. It manages various fungal infections, such as Tinea corporis (body fungus), jock itch (Tinea cruris), and Tinea versicolor (discoloured skin patches). Additionally, it treats cutaneous candidiasis (Candida skin infection) and seborrheic dermatitis, which causes scaly patches and red skin, typically on the scalp.

Here are some simple steps to follow while using Ketomac Cream:

• Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream.
• Apply a thin layer of the prescribed amount of cream to the affected areas as described by your doctor.
• Massage gently until it is fully absorbed into your skin.
• Avoid contact with your eyes. If it happens, rinse thoroughly with water.

For specific advice on how and when to use this cream, consult your doctor.

Ketomac Cream is applied topically.

Ketomac Cream contains ketoconazole (2%), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Disrupts Fungal Cell Membranes: Ketoconazole works by preventing the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component found in fungal cell membranes. This action increases the permeability of these membranes leading to leakage of cellular contents which inhibits the growth of susceptible fungi.
• Reduces Malassezia Yeasts: In cases of seborrheic dermatitis, ketoconazole can reduce Malassezia yeasts present on your skin. However, the exact working mechanism behind this reduction is not fully known yet.

• Keep Ketomac Cream in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• The ideal storage temperature is below 30°C.
• Ensure the tube is tightly closed after each use to prevent exposure to air and moisture.
• Always keep this medication out of the reach of children.

• As Ketomac Cream is used for managing fungal infections, maintaining good personal hygiene is crucial. Make sure to wash and thoroughly dry the affected area before applying the cream.
• Regularly change and clean your clothes and bedsheets, especially if they come into contact with the infected area. This helps prevent the spread and recurrence of the infection.
