Ketofly 200 mg Tablet

Ketofly 200 mg Tablet is an antifungal medicine containing ketoconazole 200 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the azole class of medicines and is used to treat certain fungal and yeast infections when a doctor decides it is appropriate. Ketofly 200 mg Tablet works by stopping fungi from making the protective substances they need to grow and survive. This strength is a prescription-only tablet form for targeted treatment under medical supervision.

How it works: Ketoconazole blocks an enzyme fungi need to make ergosterol, a key part of their cell membrane. Without that membrane support, the fungus cannot grow normally and the infection can improve over time.

Ketofly 200 mg Tablet is the standard tablet strength and is often used when a doctor wants a full 200 mg dose in one tablet. Because ketoconazole can have important safety issues and drug interactions, this strength is meant for people who have been specifically assessed by a clinician, rather than for casual or over-the-counter use.

• Certain fungal infections
• Yeast-related infections
• Skin, mouth, or body fungal infections as prescribed
• Infections caused by susceptible fungi

• Take Ketofly 200 mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless your clinician tells you otherwise.
• Take it with a full meal or as directed, since food can help the body absorb ketoconazole better.
• Try to take it at the same time each day to keep levels steady.
• Do not use extra tablets to make up for a missed dose; take the next dose when scheduled unless your doctor advises differently.

Each Ketofly 200 mg Tablet provides 200 mg of ketoconazole. Your doctor will decide how often you should take it based on the infection being treated, how severe it is, and how you respond. Some patients may take it once daily, while others may need a different schedule; do not exceed the amount prescribed.

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