Generic Nizoral

 

Generic Nizoral or ketoconazole is prescribed to treat fungal infections. It is an effective anti fungal medication that is very useful in tackling fungus that can affect parts of the body like the mouth, skin and even the bladder.

How does ketoconazole work?

 

Ketoconazole eliminates fungi and yeast through the inhibition of production of ergo sterol that is essential for the growth of the cell membranes of fungi. This causes the formation of holes within the cell membrane and the living force of the fungi oozes out effectively killing it.
