Ketoconazole 2% Dusting Powder.
KETOWAY Dusting Powder is an antifungal topical dusting powder that contains 2% w/w of Ketoconazole, offered by Bioglint Derma Care. The unique property of using dusting powder as a drug delivery vehicle in KETOWAY is that it provides a great advantage over other forms like creams and ointments in the treatment of skin infections caused by fungi, since the dusting powder remains dry and avoids accumulation of moisture which creates a warm and humid environment conducive to the growth of fungi, while at the same time delivering the antifungal effect of Ketoconazole. Thus, KETOWAY can be used to treat fungal infections in areas such as skin folds and toes.
KETOWAY Dusting Powder is prescribed by dermatologists and general physicians for the topical management of:
Ketoconazole belongs to the class of imidazole antifungals and acts by interfering with lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51), which is a cytochrome P450-dependent enzyme involved in the pathway of synthesis of sterols in fungi. Ketoconazole prevents the formation of ergosterol — the main sterol constituent of the cell membrane in fungi — and results in the buildup of poisonous lanosterol precursors. This eventually interferes with the integrity of the membrane in fungi, causing increased permeability and loss of important cellular constituents, eventually leading to growth inhibition (fungistatic) or death (fungicidal, in high concentrations). The powder formulation aids this mechanism by removing the moisture which favours fungal proliferation.
Ketoconazole Dusting Powder should only be used externally. A thin layer of the powder should be applied evenly to the clean and dry affected area as well as surrounding areas one or two times a day or as recommended by the dermatologist. It will be advisable to apply the powder after taking a bath and ensuring that the affected area is completely dry. One should not inhale the powder while applying.
KETOWAY Dusting Powder is generally very well tolerated when used as directed. Rare localised reactions may include:
Patients experiencing persistent or severe side effects should discontinue use and consult their physician or dermatologist promptly.
KETOWAY Dusting Powder is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Ketoconazole or any component of the formulation. It should not be used on severely damaged, raw, or bleeding skin without specific medical advice.
Store KETOWAY Dusting Powder in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep the container tightly closed after use to prevent moisture absorption. Store out of reach of children.
