Ketoford Cream 15 g

Ketoford Cream 15 g is a topical antifungal medicine that contains ketoconazole in a 15 g tube. It belongs to the azole class of antifungals and is used to treat certain fungal skin infections when applied to the affected area. Ketoford Cream 15 g is meant for external use on the skin, not for the eyes, mouth, or inside the body. A doctor may prescribe it for infections such as ringworm-type rashes, jock itch, athlete’s foot, or yeast-related skin irritation.

How it works: Ketoconazole works by blocking the fungus from making a substance it needs to build its cell membrane, which helps stop the infection from growing. In cream form, Ketoford Cream 15 g delivers the medicine directly to the skin so it can act at the site of the rash or infection.

Ketoford Cream 15 g is a small tube size that is practical for short treatment courses or for treating a limited skin area. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, the main difference is the amount supplied, which affects how long the tube may last rather than how the medicine works. Your doctor may choose Ketoford Cream 15 g when a topical antifungal cream is appropriate and a compact tube is enough for the prescribed area.

• Fungal skin infections
• Ringworm
• Jock itch
• Athlete’s foot
• Yeast-related skin rash

• Use Ketoford Cream 15 g only on the skin exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the cream.
• Rub the cream in gently until it is spread evenly over the rash and the surrounding skin.
• Wash your hands after applying it, unless your hands are the area being treated.
• Do not cover the area with tight bandages or dressings unless your doctor tells you to.
• Use it for the full course prescribed, even if the rash looks better sooner.

Each tube of Ketoford Cream 15 g contains 15 g of ketoconazole cream, which is enough for topical treatment over a limited area or a short course depending on the prescription. How often to apply it depends on the infection and the doctor’s instructions, and there is no fixed maximum daily amount that fits every patient because topical dosing is individualized. Your doctor decides the exact frequency, duration, and how much cream should be used with Ketoford Cream 15 g.

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

Common side effects of Ketoconazole may include:

• Mild skin burning
• Itching at the application site
• Redness of the skin
• Stinging or irritation
• Dryness or peeling of the treated area

• For external use only; do not use in the eyes, mouth, nose, or vagina unless specifically instructed by a clinician.
• Do not use on broken skin, deep wounds, or severe burns unless your doctor says it is safe.
• Tell your doctor if you have had allergy or irritation from ketoconazole or other antifungal creams.
• Use cautiously in children only if prescribed, since skin sensitivity may be greater.
• If the rash does not improve or gets worse, seek medical advice instead of continuing on your own.
• Avoid sharing the tube with others to reduce the chance of spreading infection.
• Do not apply more often or in a thicker layer than prescribed, because that can increase irritation without improving results.

• Other topical medicines applied to the same area, especially steroid or antifungal creams
• Cosmetic products or soaps that can irritate the skin where Ketoford Cream 15 g is used
• Occlusive dressings or wraps unless directed by a clinician
• Other skin treatments applied at the same time on the treated area

Store Ketoford Cream 15 g at room temperature, away from excess heat and moisture, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use.
