Description:Ketoconazole  is a synthetic, imidazole-derived antifungal medication used primarily to treat fungal infections. Ketoconazole is sold commercially as a tablet for oral administration, and in a variety of formulations, such as creams and shampoos, for topical administration.

The less toxic and generally more effective triazole antifungal agents fluconazole and itraconazole are usually preferred for internal use. The European Medicines Agency's Committee on Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended that a ban be imposed on the use of ketoconazole for systemic use in humans throughout the European Union, after concluding that the risk of serious liver injury from systemic ketoconazole outweights its benefits.
