DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Ketoconazole is an anti-fungal medication in the same family of drugs as fluconazole (Diflucan), itraconazole (Sporanox), and miconazole (Micatin, Monistat). It prevents growth of several types of fungi by preventing production of the membranes that surround fungal cells.
Ketoconazole is an imidazole medicine used to treat fungal infections. Ketoconazole binds to the fungal p450 enzymes and stops the cells making ergosterol, the main component of the cell wall. In New Zealand, it is available as shampoo and cream.
