Product Description:

Ketoconazole 2% is an imidazole antifungal for use on the skin and scalp. It blocks the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha demethylase, so the fungus cannot make ergosterol for its cell membrane. It acts on dermatophytes, Candida and the Malassezia yeasts linked to dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis. This page covers 2% cream and 2% shampoo. The shampoo suits hairy areas and large surfaces. Very little is absorbed through the skin, unlike the oral form, whose use is now restricted.

The cream is used for ringworm of the body and groin, athlete's foot, cutaneous candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor and seborrhoeic dermatitis. The shampoo is used for dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp and pityriasis versicolor. It is lathered in, left for a few minutes and rinsed, typically twice weekly during an episode. Local irritation is the main side effect. Some creams contain sulfites or propylene glycol, which labels flag. Legal status varies by strength and market, from pharmacy sale to prescription.

Sourcing notes. Cream and shampoo are separate products with separate dossiers, so enquire for each. Ask for CTD or ACTD format with Zone IVb stability data if you serve hot markets; creams should show no phase separation over shelf life. Creams come in aluminium or laminate tubes, shampoos in HDPE or PET bottles. Store below 25 or 30 °C as labelled and do not freeze. Request a CoA per batch with assay and microbial limits, the GMP certificate and a CoPP. State form, tube or bottle size and country of registration.
