Frequently Asked Questions about Nizoral cream


What is ketoconazole cream used for?

Ketoconazole cream is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It helps to alleviate symptoms like itching, redness, and scaling caused by these fungal infections.


How long does it take for ketoconazole cream to work?

The time it takes for ketoconazole cream to work can vary depending on the individual and the specific fungal infection being treated. In general, noticeable improvement may be seen within the first few days of starting treatment. However, it is important to continue using the cream for the prescribed duration, even if the symptoms appear to have resolved, to ensure complete eradication of the fungal infection.


Is ketoconazole an antifungal?

Yes, ketoconazole is an antifungal medication. It belongs to a class of drugs known as azole antifungals. Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the growth and spread of fungi, thereby helping to treat various fungal infections.


Do you need a prescription for Nizoral cream?

Yes, Nizoral cream, which contains ketoconazole as its active ingredient, typically requires a prescription. It is always advisable to consult with your doctor or pharmacist to determine if Nizoral cream or any other medication is suitable for your specific condition and to obtain a valid prescription if necessary.


Is ketoconazole a steroid?

No, ketoconazole is not a steroid. It is an antifungal medication, as mentioned earlier.

Ketoconazole functions by targeting and eliminating fungal infections rather than reducing inflammation, as steroids do.
