generally speaking when you encounter a medication with "azole" in the name you can be pretty sure it's an antifungal medication. that means it's used to treat fungal infections such as athlete's foot ringworm and yeast infections of the skin. the 2% designation indicates the amount of the active ingredient (ketoconazole) contained in the cream. very often topical medications (that is creams ointments) come in a variety of strengths. you should use a prescription cream exactly as directed. obviously you should never eat it. and don't use it on any mucous membranes (such as the vaginal area) unless directed to do so. hope this helps!
what is ketoconazole 2% cream used for?
