Description:

Ketoconazole 200 mg is a potent oral antifungal agent belonging to the imidazole class, used to treat a variety of fungal infections. It works by inhibiting fungal cell membrane synthesis, specifically blocking the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal membranes, leading to fungal cell death.

This medication is effective against infections caused by dermatophytes, yeasts (such as Candida species), and other fungi. It is prescribed for treating systemic fungal infections, candidiasis, dermatophytosis, and certain severe skin and mucosal fungal infections. Due to its broad spectrum of action, Ketoconazole is a trusted choice for fungal infections resistant to other treatments.
