The tablet works by blocking the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. Ketoconazole inhibits the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, which converts lanosterol into ergosterol. This leads to a shortage of ergosterol and a build-up of its precursors, so the structure and function of the fungal cell membrane are weakened and the fungus is unable to survive normally.

Must not be used for fungal meningitis, as it penetrates poorly into the cerebrospinal fluid. Must not be taken with certain medicines including dofetilide, quinidine, cisapride, pimozide, methadone, disopyramide, dronedarone and ergot alkaloids such as ergotamine and dihydroergotamine. Not used for onychomycosis, cutaneous dermatophyte infections or Candida infections. Must not be used in acute or chronic liver disease. Check with a doctor first about all other medicines you take, as many drugs interact with this medicine.
