Ketoconazole Petoral-K Tablets 200mg

Giving Ketoconazole with food may assist with the absorption and reduce stomach upset.

 How It Works

Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the production of the fungal cell wall. This causes the fungus to be structurally inadequate so that it leaks and dies. In smaller doses, it can be used to inhibit the reproduction of the fungus.

Storage Information

Always store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature and protected from heat or light.

Missed Dose?

Do not skip the dose. Give the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose, and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give your pet two doses at once.
