Ketovate Cream 20 g

Ketovate Cream 20 G contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w + Clobetasol propionate 0.05% w/w cream. Prescription required.

Treatment of inflammatory fungal skin infections where marked itching/redness is present, such as tinea (ringworm), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and candidal intertrigo (as prescribed).

Ketoconazole is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits ergosterol synthesis, damaging the fungal cell membrane and stopping fungal growth. Clobetasol is a super‑potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness and itching by suppressing local immune and inflammatory mediators.

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area once or twice daily as advised by the doctor; clean and dry the area before application. Use for the shortest duration prescribed; avoid occlusive dressings unless told. Wash hands after use and avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin.

Burning, irritation, itching, redness, dryness, skin peeling, acne/folliculitis, skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, hypopigmentation, increased hair growth, secondary infection

Contains a super‑potent steroid (clobetasol); prolonged or excessive use can cause skin thinning, stretch marks, steroid acne, and may suppress adrenal function especially on large areas, under occlusion, or in children. Do not use on face, groin, or armpits unless specifically prescribed; avoid use on acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, or viral lesions (herpes/chickenpox). Not for ophthalmic use; avoid eyes. If no improvement in 1–2 weeks or symptoms worsen, consult a doctor; inappropriate use may mask/worsen fungal infection (tinea incognito). Use with caution in children and during breastfeeding; do not apply on breast/nipple area.

No major systemic interactions expected with topical use; avoid combining on the same area with other potent topical steroids, irritant keratolytics, or other topical antifungals/antibiotics unless prescribed. Increased systemic steroid effects possible if used with occlusion or on large areas.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep the cap tightly closed and out of reach of children.
