Ketofung Cream is a pharmaceutical-grade antifungal medication designed for the topical treatment of fungal and yeast infections of the skin. Its active ingredient, Ketoconazole, works by inhibiting the systemic synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting the localized membrane integrity, Ketofung clears the path for the elimination of common skin pathogens in the humid Nigerian environment.

Route: Cutaneous (Skin)
Pack Size: 15g or 30g Tube (Typical)

Ketofung is primarily indicated for the topical treatment of tinea infections, including athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). It is also highly effective in the clinical management of pityriasis versicolor (white patches) and seborrheic dermatitis (flaking skin or dandruff) caused by Malassezia yeasts. By targeting the localized fungal colonization, it provides a stable clinical tool for resolving skin irritation and scaling.
External Use Only: This cream is for localized cutaneous application. It must not be used in the eyes, mouth, or intravaginally.
Sensitivity Warning: If localized irritation, burning, or a systemic allergic reaction (hives) occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Avoid Cross-Contamination: To prevent the systemic spread of the infection, do not share towels or clothing with others during the localized treatment phase.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using Ketofung if you are pregnant or nursing. While systemic absorption is low, professional localized guidance is recommended.
Wash and dry the localized area thoroughly before application. Apply a thin layer of Ketofung Cream to the affected skin and the immediate surrounding area once or twice daily, as directed by your pharmacist. Rub in gently until the cream disappears. For systemic success, continue treatment for a few days after the localized symptoms have cleared to prevent the infection from returning. Wash your hands immediately after use to avoid spreading the fungus to other localized body parts.
Commonly reported effects include localized stinging, itching, or mild redness at the site of application. Some patients with sensitive skin may experience localized dryness or oiliness. These systemic reactions are usually mild and temporary. Consult your doctor if localized blistering or severe systemic skin peeling occurs.
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. In the Nigerian climate, localized heat can cause the cream to separate; ensure the localized cap is tightened firmly after every use to maintain systemic potency. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: How long does it take to see systemic results?
A: Most localized fungal infections show improvement within 1 to 2 weeks. Pityriasis versicolor may require up to 3 weeks of consistent systemic application.
Q: Can I use Ketofung Cream on my face?
A: Yes, for conditions like seborrheic dermatitis. However, avoid the localized eye area and do not use it for prolonged periods on the face without a clinical review.
Q: Is Ketofung the same as a localized steroid cream?
A: No. Ketofung is an antifungal. It kills the underlying systemic cause of the infection rather than just masking the localized inflammation.
Q: Can I apply a localized bandage over the cream?
A: Unless directed by a doctor, avoid covering the localized area with airtight (occlusive) dressings, as this can increase systemic absorption and localized irritation.
