Ketoconazole

Antifungal Medication
Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication used for the treatment of fungal, ringworm and yeast infections. Ketoconazole is also given to more serious fungal infections including histoplasmosis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis and cryptococcosis in dogs. It is sometimes given for the treatment of Cushing’s Disease (hyperadrenocorticism) in dogs.

Ketoconazole inhibits the growth of fungal organisms by interfering with cell wall formation.
