Ketokem 2% Cream is an antifungal medication used to treat skin infections caused by yeast or fungus. It effectively treats various fungal infections like athlete's foot, jock itch (in the groin area), sweat rash (intertrigo) found in skin folds, dandruff, and seborrheic dermatitis.

It operates by inhibiting the growth and replication of fungi or yeast in the body. It achieves this by targeting a crucial component of the fungal cell membranes called ergosterol, which is essential for their structural integrity.

Ketoconazole is available as cream or shampoo and usually resolves most fungal infections within 23 weeks, but may take up to 6 weeks for athlete's foot. It's crucial to consult your doctor or pharmacist if you've had an allergic reaction to ketoconazole or any other medicine before using it.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
