Nizoral Cream (active ingredient: ketoconazole) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  • Fungal Infections: Nizoral Cream is used for the topical treatment of tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea cruris (jock itch), and tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) caused by susceptible fungal organisms.

Nizoral Cream belongs to a class of drugs known as antifungals, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting fungal cell function and growth.

Nizoral Cream is applied directly to the affected area of skin and is typically used once or twice per day for several weeks until the infection clears up. Nizoral Cream is only for use on the skin and should not be used in the eyes or mouth.

Using Nizoral Cream, clean and thoroughly dry the affected area of skin. Then, apply enough medication to cover the affected skin and some of the surrounding skin. Use the medication only on the skin and do not apply it in the eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina. If the medication gets in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

The dosage and length of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated. Do not apply the medication more often than prescribed, as it will not clear the condition faster, but it may increase side effects. After applying the medication, wash your hands and do not wrap, cover, or bandage the area unless directed to do so by your doctor.

Use Nizoral Cream regularly at the same time(s) each day to get the most benefit from it. Continue to use the medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after starting ketoconazole. Stopping the medication too early may allow the fungus to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection.

If your condition lasts after the full prescribed amount of treatment, or if it gets worse at any time, inform your doctor.

  • Allergic reactions: some people may have allergic reactions to ketoconazole, which may cause symptoms such as itching, rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using Nizoral Cream and seek medical attention immediately.
  • Skin irritation: Nizoral Cream may cause skin irritation, burning, or itching in some people. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using the cream and consult your doctor.

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Nizoral Cream should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if recommended by a doctor, as safety data is limited.
  • Liver problems: Ketoconazole has been known to cause liver problems, including liver damage and liver failure, in some rare cases. If you experience symptoms such as dark urine, yellowing of the eyes or skin, abdominal pain, or loss of appetite while using Nizoral Cream, stop using it and consult your doctor immediately.
  • Age limitations: Nizoral Cream is not recommended for use in children under the age of 12, as safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been established.
  • Non-fungal infections: Nizoral Cream is not effective for treating infections caused by bacteria or viruses, so it should not be used to treat non-fungal skin infections.
  • Avoid contact with eyes and mouth: Nizoral Cream is for external use only, and should not come into contact with the eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes. If this happens accidentally, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water.

How long should I use Nizoral Cream?

You should use Nizoral Cream for as long as your doctor or pharmacist recommends. In most cases, Nizoral Cream is used for several weeks until the infection clears up.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Nizoral Cream?
