KETOFORCE 200 MG 10 Tablets

Ketoforce 200 mg

Ketoforce 200 mg is an antifungal medicine that is used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears), and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discolored patches on chest, back, legs and arms).

Ketoforce 200 mg fights fungus and yeast by generating holes in their cell membranes. The topical and oral dose forms of Ketoforce 200 mg are both available. The topical version of Ketoforce 200 mg can be applied as a thin layer to the clean and dry afflicted region with the finger. Ketoforce 200 mg should not come into contact with your nose, mouth, or eyes. If Ketoforce 200 mg comes into touch with these areas by accident, thoroughly rinse with water.

Nausea, headaches, diarrhea, stomach pain, and abnormal liver function test findings are all common adverse effects. Some people who use Ketoforce 200 mg topically may develop dry skin, itching, redness, or a burning feeling. The majority of these Ketoforce 200 mg adverse effects do not require medical care and will go away over time. Please visit your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Because Ketoforce 200 mg has the potential to cause liver failure, your doctor will closely monitor your liver function while you’re using it. If you are pregnant or nursing, you should get medical advice before using Ketoforce 200 mg. If you’re using Ketoforce 200 mg topically, stay away from bare flames and avoid smoking. Ketoforce 200 mg readily catches fire and burns. Before using Ketoforce 200 mg, tell your doctor if you are using any steroidal cream, lotion, or ointment so that the amount can be changed. People with liver disease, asthma, sulphite allergy, an autoimmune issue, or cardiac difficulties (with prolonged QT wave of heartbeat) should not use Ketoforce 200 mg. Consult your doctor before using Ketoforce 200 mg.

Fungal infections are treated with Ketoforce 200 mg.

Medicinal Advantages

Ketoforce 200 mg is a topical antifungal that is used to treat ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot, as well as seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). The oral form of Ketoforce 200 mg is used to treat fungal infections and Cushing’s syndrome (excessive levels of cortisol hormone). The membranes of fungal cells are critical for their survival because they prevent undesired substances from entering the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Ketoforce 200 mg fights fungus by causing holes in their cell membranes. As a result, the fungal infection is cleared, and the cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin caused by infections are relieved.

Using your finger, gently rub a small amount of Ketoforce 200 mg on the clean and dry afflicted region and surrounding skin. Ketoforce 200 mg should only be used on the outside of the body.

Concerns of Patients

A fungus affects the tissue and causes infection, resulting in a fungal infection. It’s possible that fungal diseases are infectious (spread from one person to another). Ringworm is a contagious fungal illness of the skin or scalp that forms a rash that looks like a worm in a ring shape. Jock itch (also known as tinea cruris) is a fungus that creates an itchy, red rash in warm, moist parts of the body like the groin, buttocks, and inner thighs. Athlete’s foot (also known as tinea pedis) is a fungal illness that commonly begins between the toes, especially in those who sweat a lot and wear tight shoes. Athletes are the ones who get it the most. Itchy, burning, or stinging sensations are caused by a scaly rash. Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin ailment that causes an itchy rash with dry, flaky scales on the skin of the scalp, face, back, and upper chest, which contains oil glands.

FAQs

Fungal infection is a contagious skin ailment that spreads from person to person via direct skin-to-skin contact, contaminated soil or surfaces, and sick animals. As a result, it is advised to avoid close direct contact with the sick individual until the virus has cleared, as this can transmit the infection.

While using Ketoconazole in oral form (tablets), you should avoid meals containing chocolate and caffeine, such as cocoa beans, tea, coffee, cola, and energy drinks, since this may exacerbate the negative effects of caffeine, such as drowsiness, restlessness, or nausea.

Ketoconazole contains stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol, which can induce skin responses including contact dermatitis (a red, itchy rash caused by direct touch with a chemical). If the irritation intensifies or does not go away, please see a doctor.

After applying Ketoconazole for at least 20 minutes, you should apply makeup or sunscreen to the treated region of skin.

Ketoconazole should be used for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Please visit a doctor if the illness worsens or persists after 2 to 4 weeks of Ketoconazole medication.

It is not suggested that you discontinue taking Ketoconazole without first visiting your doctor, since this could result in a recurrence of infection. As a result, take Ketoconazole for as long as your doctor has given it, and contact your doctor if you have any problems while taking it.

Ketoconazole can cause serious liver damage and heart difficulties, such as life-threatening heart rate or heart rhythm disorders, if taken for an extended period of time. If you have any type of heart or liver condition, talk to your doctor before using Ketoconazole.
