If irritation or sensitivity occurs, treatment should be discontinued. Do not use on children under 2 years of age except under the advice and supervision of a doctor. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes (for external use only). Overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms may occur with prolonged use of any topical antimicrobial agent including Ketoconazole.
Cream: Consult doctor if there is no improvement in 4 weeks (for athlete's foot) or 2 weeks (for jock itch).
Use in pregnancy and lactation: Animal studies and studies in human volunteers have failed to demonstrate systemic absorption of topically applied Ketoconazole cream and Ketoconazole shampoo; however due to the teratogenic nature of the active ingredient, Ketoconazole cream and shampoo should only be used in pregnant or lactating woman if in the judgement of the treating physician, the expected benefits outweigh the potential risk.
