Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Ketafung Powder. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.

All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.

Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Composition of Ketafung Powder

Ketafung Powder contains Ketoconazole (2%w/w). It belongs to the Antifungal class of medicines.

Uses of Ketafung Powder

Ketafung Cream is used in the treatment of fungal infections.

Benefits of Ketafung Powder

In Fungal skin infection
Ketafung kills the fungus on the skin or stops it growing, clearing the rash and the itch. Continuing for the full period, even after the skin looks clear, stops it coming back.
In Ringworm
Ketafung clears the ring-shaped, itchy rash of ringworm and stops it spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.
In Athlete's foot
Ketafung clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
In Dandruff
Ketafung controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
In Nail fungal infection
Ketafung, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.

How Ketafung Powder works

Ketafung Cream is an antifungal medication. It kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane. This treats your infection.

How to take Ketafung Powder

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Ketafung Powder

Most side effects of Ketafung are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Application site burning sensation

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Safety advice for Ketafung Powder

AlcoholSAFE
No significant interaction with alcohol is expected.
PregnancyUNSAFE
Ketafung Cream may be unsafe to use during pregnancy.<br>Animal studies have shown adverse effects on the foetus, however, there are limited human studies. The benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk. Please consult your doctor.
Breast feedingSAFE
Ketafung Cream is probably safe to use during lactation. Limited human data suggests that the drug does not represent a significant risk to the baby.
DrivingSAFE
Not expected to affect your ability to drive.
KidneySAFE
No dose change is usually needed in kidney disease.
LiverSAFE
No dose change is usually needed in liver disease.

Warnings and precautions

Keep applying for the full period your doctor stated, usually two to four weeks, and for a week or two after the rash has cleared. Stopping when it looks better is why ringworm keeps coming back. Apply a little beyond the visible edge of the patch — the fungus extends further than the redness. Do not use a combination cream containing a steroid on a fungal infection unless a doctor has specifically prescribed it. The steroid calms the redness while the fungus spreads underneath. See a doctor if the rash covers a large area, involves the scalp or nails, or has not improved in two weeks — these usually need tablets as well.

Do not take Ketafung if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. For external use only. Not for use in the eyes.

Interactions with other medicines

No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin.

How to store Ketafung Powder

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep out of the reach of children.
