KetoCIP 2% Cream

KetoCIP 2% Cream is a topical antifungal medicine that contains ketoconazole 2% in each tube. It belongs to the azole antifungal class and is used on the skin to treat fungal infections and certain yeast-related skin conditions. KetoCIP 2% Cream is applied directly to the affected area, where it helps reduce the fungus causing the rash, itching, and scaling.

How it works: Ketoconazole works by blocking a substance fungi need to build their cell membrane, which weakens and stops their growth. As a cream, KetoCIP 2% Cream delivers the medicine directly to the infected skin, helping treat the problem where it appears.

The 2% strength is a prescription-level topical concentration that may be chosen when a clinician wants a stronger ketoconazole cream for a confirmed fungal or yeast skin infection. Because there are no other KetoCIP strengths or forms listed here, KetoCIP 2% Cream should be used exactly as prescribed and is not meant for casual or unassessed skin irritation.

• Ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
• Jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Cutaneous candidiasis
• Seborrheic dermatitis on the skin

• Wash and dry the affected skin before applying KetoCIP 2% Cream.
• Apply a thin layer to the infected area and the skin just around it, as directed by your doctor.
• Rub it in gently; wash your hands after applying unless the hands are being treated.
• Use it only on the skin; do not put it in your eyes, mouth, nose, or vagina.
• Keep using it for the full prescribed course, even if the rash looks better sooner.
• Do not cover the area with tight bandages unless your clinician tells you to.

Each tube of KetoCIP 2% Cream contains ketoconazole 2%, a topical antifungal concentration intended for skin use. How often to apply it depends on the condition being treated and your doctor’s instructions; many fungal skin infections are treated once or twice daily, but the exact schedule is individualized. There is no fixed maximum daily amount for every patient because the amount used depends on the size of the area being treated and medical guidance.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Ketoconazole may include:

• Mild burning or stinging where applied
• Itching at the application site
• Redness or irritation of the skin
• Dry skin

• Use only on the skin; KetoCIP 2% Cream is not for eyes, mouth, or internal use.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of allergy to ketoconazole or other azole antifungals.
• Avoid using other topical products on the same area unless your clinician says it is okay.
• Do not apply to broken, severely irritated, or infected skin unless instructed.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor before using this cream.
• Use extra care in children and on large skin areas, since a doctor should decide whether this strength is appropriate.
• If your rash does not improve or gets worse, contact a healthcare professional rather than increasing use on your own.

• Other topical antifungals or medicated creams applied to the same area
• Topical corticosteroids used on the same rash area
• Skin products with strong irritants such as acids, alcohol, or astringents
• Any medicine or product your doctor says should not be layered with ketoconazole cream
