Product Introduction
Apraketo 200mg Tablet contains Ketoconazole, an antifungal agent from the azole derivative class. It is used to treat various fungal skin infections, including ringworm, athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and other dermatophyte infections. The medication is intended for topical application directly to the affected skin areas.
Patients should avoid using Apraketo if they have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Ketoconazole or any of its ingredients. It should not be applied to mucous membranes, eyes, ears, or nostrils, as contact with these sensitive areas may cause irritation. In case of accidental exposure, the affected area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
Some users may experience skin irritation, redness, or itching during treatment. If these symptoms occur, use should be discontinued and medical advice sought. Individuals who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare professional before using Apraketo, despite its low systemic absorption when applied topically.
Uses

How it works
Apraketo 200mg Tablet works by inhibiting the growth and replication of fungal cells. It interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol, a major component of the fungal cell membrane, which weakens the cell structure and leads to the death of the fungus.
How to Use
Use the Apraketo 200mg Tablet as directed by your physician or the instructions provided on the product packaging. Before applying the soap, wet the affected skin and the surrounding area with warm water. Gently massage it into the skin for about 1-2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid contact with eyes.

Expert Tips
Before applying Apraketo 200mg Tablet, gently clean the affected skin area with mild soap and water. Ensure that the skin is thoroughly dry before applying the medication. Do not apply more or less than the recommended amount, and continue using the medication for the entire prescribed duration, even if you start to feel better before the treatment is complete. Fungal infections can recur if not fully treated.
