Nizoral is an antifungal medication used to treat certain fungal infections. Depending on the form prescribed, such as a cream or shampoo, Nizoral may be used for fungal skin infections or scalp-related conditions.

Fungal Skin Infections

Nizoral may be used to treat fungal infections of the skin, including:

  • Tinea corporis, also known as ringworm
  • Tinea cruris, also known as jock itch
  • Tinea pedis, also known as athlete’s foot
  • Tinea versicolor, a fungal infection that can cause lighter or darker patches on the skin

These infections may cause symptoms such as itching, redness, scaling, irritation, or changes in skin color.

Seborrheic Dermatitis

Nizoral may also be used to treat seborrheic dermatitis, a skin condition that can cause flaking, redness, itching, and irritation. It commonly affects oily areas of the body, such as the scalp, face, chest, or upper back.

How Nizoral Works

Nizoral belongs to a class of antifungal medications called imidazole antifungals. It works by blocking the production of ergosterol, an important part of the fungal cell membrane.

Without enough ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes damaged and weak. This helps stop the fungus from growing and can lead to fungal cell death, allowing the infection to clear.

Nizoral should be used exactly as directed by your healthcare provider or according to the product instructions.

Ketoconazole may be available as an oral tablet and should be taken by mouth exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day, to help maintain a consistent amount of medication in your body.

Read the instructions on your prescription label carefully. If you are unsure how to take the medication, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for clarification.

Do not take more or less than prescribed, and do not take ketoconazole more often than directed. Taking too much can increase the risk of serious side effects, while taking too little may make the treatment less effective.

Recommended Dosage

The usual adult starting dose of oral ketoconazole is 200 mg once daily. Depending on the type and severity of the fungal infection and your response to treatment, your healthcare provider may increase the dose to 400 mg once daily.

Your healthcare provider will determine the dose that is right for you based on factors such as your medical condition, age, weight, liver function, other medications, and response to treatment.

Important Reminder

Oral ketoconazole is generally reserved for certain serious fungal infections when other antifungal treatments are not appropriate or have not worked. Take it only under close medical supervision and follow all monitoring instructions from your healthcare provider.

Before taking ketoconazole, tell your healthcare provider about your medical history, allergies, and all medications or supplements you are taking. Ketoconazole can interact with certain medications and may require special precautions.

Avoid Alcohol

Avoid drinking alcohol while taking ketoconazole. Alcohol may increase the risk of liver damage and may also cause uncomfortable reactions, such as flushing, rash, nausea, headache, or swelling of the hands and feet.

This includes alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and liquor. You should also avoid medications or products that contain alcohol, such as some cough syrups, unless your healthcare provider or pharmacist says they are safe.

Surgery or Dental Procedures

If you are having surgery or a dental procedure, tell your doctor, dentist, or surgeon that you are taking ketoconazole. This helps them provide safe care and avoid possible medication interactions.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before taking ketoconazole. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your healthcare provider right away.

Antacid Interactions

Antacids that contain aluminum, calcium, or magnesium, such as Maalox, Mylanta, or Tums, can affect how ketoconazole is absorbed. If you need to take an antacid, take it at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after taking ketoconazole, unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.

Allergic Reactions

Before taking ketoconazole, tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you are allergic to ketoconazole, any other medications, or any ingredients in ketoconazole tablets. Ask your pharmacist for a list of ingredients if needed.

Seek medical help right away if you develop symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, such as rash, swelling of the face or throat, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.

What is ketoconazole used for?

Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat certain fungal infections. Depending on the form used, such as a tablet, cream, or shampoo, it may be used for serious internal fungal infections, fungal skin infections, tinea versicolor, dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis.

How should I take ketoconazole tablets?

Take ketoconazole tablets exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Follow the dosing instructions on your prescription label, and do not take more or less than directed. Oral ketoconazole can cause serious side effects and should only be used under close medical supervision.

Can I use ketoconazole if I am allergic to other antifungal medications?

If you are allergic to other antifungal medications, tell your healthcare provider before using ketoconazole. You may still be at risk of an allergic reaction, depending on the type of antifungal and your allergy history. Your provider can help determine whether ketoconazole is safe for you.

What should I do if I miss a dose of ketoconazole?

If you miss a dose of ketoconazole, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
