What Experts Say

Doctors regard Ketoconazole as a dependable antifungal option for infections that fail to respond to creams, lotions, or medicated shampoos alone. It works by damaging the outer membrane of fungal cells, which stops the fungus from multiplying and allows the body to clear the infection gradually over several weeks.

Health experts caution that oral Ketoconazole carries a higher risk of liver problems compared to many newer antifungal tablets available today. Current medical guidelines recommend it only when safer alternatives are unavailable or have already failed, and only under close supervision from a qualified doctor.

Medical advice stresses that liver function tests should be done before starting treatment and repeated regularly while taking this medicine. Self-medicating with leftover antifungal tablets is strongly discouraged, since incorrect use can worsen the infection or delay an accurate diagnosis of the underlying problem.
