Ketoconazol Dr.Max (Ketoconazole)

Ketoconazole inhibits the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, which is essential for ergosterol synthesis. Ergosterol is a critical component of the fungal cell membrane. By blocking its production, the drug disrupts membrane integrity, leading to increased permeability and fungal cell death.

The dosage and frequency of Ketoconazol Dr.Max are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the specific infection, its severity, and patient factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label for proper application.

Safety data for topical ketoconazole in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks with their healthcare provider before using the product.

Ketoconazol belongs to the azole class, offering broad‑spectrum activity against dermatophytes and yeasts. Compared with allylamine agents such as terbinafine, ketoconazole may be preferred for infections involving Malassezia species (e.g., seborrheic dermatitis). Choice of therapy depends on the pathogen, site of infection, and patient tolerance.

Ketoconazol Dr.Max should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.

Apply a thin layer of the product to the affected skin area once or twice daily, as directed by the prescriber. Gently rub it in until it disappears, and wash hands before and after application. Avoid covering the treated area with occlusive dressings unless instructed.

Serious risks, although rare, include severe allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis, extensive contact dermatitis, and photosensitivity. Systemic absorption can rarely affect liver enzymes. Patients should stop use and seek immediate medical attention if they experience swelling, difficulty breathing, or intense skin reactions.

Ketoconazol Dr.Max should be avoided in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any azole antifungal. It is also contraindicated on severely damaged or broken skin, and in patients who have experienced severe reactions to other topical antifungal preparations.
