Description

Product Description

Ketoford 2% Cream is a topical antifungal medication formulated with Ketoconazole 2%, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that effectively treats fungal infections affecting the skin. It works by stopping the growth of fungi responsible for skin infections and helps restore healthy skin.

This cream is commonly prescribed for conditions such as ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), cutaneous candidiasis, and seborrheic dermatitis.
