About Ketoconazole (NOVAZOL) 20mg/g Cream 

Ketoconazole (NOVAZOL) 20mg/g Cream is a topical antifungal medication formulated to treat a wide range of superficial fungal infections of the skin. Each gram of NOVAZOL Cream contains 15mg of ketoconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This leads to weakened cell structures and ultimately the death of the fungus, making it effective against dermatophytes, yeasts (including Candida spp.), and Malassezia furfur, the organism associated with seborrheic dermatitis.

Ketoconazole cream is an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal skin infections and seborrheic dermatitis. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. The cream is applied topically to the affected area and is available both over-the-counter and by prescription, depending on the specific fungal infection and its severity. This cream is ideal for treating conditions such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), ringworm (tinea corporis), pityriasis versicolor, and cutaneous candidiasis. It is also widely used for seborrheic dermatitis affecting areas like the face, scalp, and chest. The formulation is designed to be smooth and non-greasy, offering ease of application and rapid absorption into the affected area, with minimal residue.

Packaged in a convenient tube, NOVAZOL Cream is perfect for targeted treatment of localized infections and offers reliable symptom relief such as itching, redness, scaling, and inflammation. For best results, consistent application as prescribed by a healthcare professional is recommended.
