KZ – Tube of 30g Cream with Ketoconazole

Description

KZ Cream (30g) is a topical antifungal medicine used to treat fungal infections of the skin.

✅ Composition

• Ketoconazole IP 2.0% w/w – Broad-spectrum antifungal agent that kills fungus and yeast causing skin infections.

✅ Uses

KZ cream is used for treatment of:

• Ringworm (Tinea corporis)

• Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis)

• Skin yeast infection (Candidiasis)

• Seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff-related skin condition)

• Pityriasis versicolor (white/brown skin patches)

✅ How It Works

Ketoconazole stops the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes.
This damages the fungus and stops its growth, clearing the infection.
