Some ketoconazole products are. Ketoconazole 1% shampoo (such as Nizoral Anti-Dandruff) is available over the counter in pharmacies and grocery stores for dandruff. Stronger 2% shampoo, 2% cream, foam, and tablets need a prescription. If OTC shampoo hasn’t helped, or you have seborrheic dermatitis or tinea versicolor, a doctor can prescribe a stronger option.

Prescription ketoconazole usually comes in a 2% strength, as a cream, shampoo, or foam. The over-the-counter shampoo is 1%. Ketoconazole tablets come in 200 mg, but they’re used only for rare, serious infections. Talk to a doctor online to get virtual prescriptions in minutes.

It depends on the form and what you’re treating. Ketoconazole cream is applied in a thin layer to the affected skin and the area around it, once a day for most skin infections or twice a day for seborrheic dermatitis. Treatment usually lasts about 2 weeks for ringworm, jock itch, and yeast infections, about 4 weeks for seborrheic dermatitis, and up to 6 weeks for athlete’s foot. The shampoo is usually used twice a week, left on the scalp for 3–5 minutes before rinsing. For tinea versicolor, it’s applied to the affected skin and left on for about 5 minutes, and a single use is often enough. Wash your hands after applying the cream, and keep all forms away from your eyes. Follow your doctor’s instructions, and keep using it for the full course, even if your skin looks better.

2% Ketoconazole usually works within 2 to 3 weeks for most fungal infections, but it can take six weeks for an athlete’s foot to improve.

No. Ketoconazole shampoo, cream, and foam are applied to the skin, and very little reaches your bloodstream, so they don’t cause liver damage. The liver risk applies to ketoconazole tablets, which can cause serious liver injury. That’s why the tablets are no longer used for skin or scalp infections.

Usually not. Topical ketoconazole doesn’t get through the nail well, so it isn’t effective for toenail fungus. Ketoconazole tablets aren’t recommended for nail infections because of their serious side effects and drug interactions. Better options include oral terbinafine or prescription nail solutions such as ciclopirox or efinaconazole.

Ketoconazole cream is used for yeast infections on the skin, such as in skin folds or under the breasts. It isn’t meant for vaginal yeast infections. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer of cream to cover the rash and the skin around it, usually once a day for about 2 weeks. Wash your hands afterward. Follow your doctor’s instructions, and contact them if the rash doesn’t improve.

Topical ketoconazole (cream, shampoo, or foam) doesn’t interact with alcohol, so you don’t need to wait. Ketoconazole tablets can rarely cause flushing, nausea, or headache with alcohol, and alcohol can add to their liver risk, so people taking the tablets should avoid alcohol. Always consult your healthcare provider for specific advice based on your situation.

The shampoo is often used twice a week for 2–4 weeks to treat dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis. To prevent flare-ups from returning, many people then use it once every 1–2 weeks. The cream is usually used once or twice daily, depending on the condition.

Topical ketoconazole rarely interacts with other medicines, because very little is absorbed into the body. Ketoconazole tablets, on the other hand, interact with many medicines, including antacids, blood thinners, and drugs broken down by the liver enzyme CYP3A4. This can change how well they work or increase side effects. Tell your doctor about all the medicines and skin products you use.

You shouldn’t use topical ketoconazole if you’re allergic to ketoconazole, other azole antifungals, or any of its ingredients, including sulfites in the cream. Ketoconazole tablets carry many more restrictions. People with liver disease, heart rhythm problems such as QT prolongation, or adrenal insufficiency, and people taking certain other medicines, shouldn’t take them.

Your skin may become inflamed or red if you use Ketoconazole shampoo or cream too much or too often. If there are any side effects, see a doctor right away.

Yes. Ketoconazole cream, shampoo, and foam are FDA-approved to treat fungal and yeast infections of the skin and scalp, including seborrheic dermatitis. Ketoconazole tablets are also FDA-approved, but only for serious fungal infections when other treatments can’t be used, and they carry a boxed warning.
