What is Nizoral cream?

Nizoral Cream belongs to the group of antimyotics and effectively fights parasitic dimorphic fungi and yeast fungi, acts against dermatophytes and eumycota. The cream is used to treat skin diseases caused by a fungal infection. The active substance of the antifungal drug ketoconazole disrupts the synthesis of the membrane components of fungi, which leads to the death of the pathogen. The drug also affects the activity of gram-positive bacteria (streptococci and staphylococci).

After applying Nizoral 2% cream, the active substance ketoconazole quickly penetrates deep into the affected tissue and acts at the cellular level. But at the same time, ketoconazole is not absorbed into the systemic circulation. Therefore, the medicine can be used for a long time (up to six months or more).

Important information about Nizoral Cream

The cream is only suitable for local therapy.

Nizoral 2 percent Cream is not suitable for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

It is important to use this cream for three or four days after the symptoms of the infection have disappeared. This ensures complete treatment and prevention of infection.

If the infection has not gone away after four weeks of therapy, you should consult your doctor.

Nizoral 2% Cream contains propylene glycol which may cause skin irritation.

The drug also contains 1-hexadecanol and 1-octadecanol, which can cause skin reactions such as contact dermatitis.

Can Nizoral Сream be used with other medicines?

Yes. Nizoral Cream 2 Percent is not absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream in significant amounts and is therefore not expected to affect other medicines.

If you use other creams, ointments or lotions (including moisturizers or cosmetics) on the same skin area, you should preferably not apply them at the same time as Ketoconazole 2% Cream. This is because they could dilute the medicine and make it less effective at treating the infection. Always allow about 30 minutes between applying different products to the same area of skin to allow them to be absorbed.

When using a steroid cream, do not use both creams at the same time. For example, you can apply steroid cream in the morning and Nizoral 2% cream in the evening.
