Introduction
Ketoconazole is an essential pharmaceutical API used in the treatment of fungal infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, and seborrheic dermatitis. It belongs to the class of antifungal medications known as azole derivatives, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting fungal growth and replication. Administered orally or topically, dosages vary based on the specific infection and individual patient response. While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort and liver enzyme abnormalities. Regulatory adherence ensures stringent quality and safety standards during manufacturing, ensuring reliability in Ketoconazole-containing pharmaceutical products.
