About ketoconazole

What is ketoconazole?
Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal and yeast infections on the skin, scalp, and, in rare cases, inside the body. It belongs to the azole class of antifungals and works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. 

Ketoconazole is available in multiple formulations, including cream, shampoo, foam, and oral tablets. Topical forms are commonly used for conditions like tinea versicolor, ringworm, athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis, and dandruff. The oral form is typically reserved for systemic fungal infections or serious skin infections that don’t respond to topical treatment.

The oral formulation has serious side effect potential, particularly hepatotoxicity, and should only be used when necessary and under close supervision. The topical forms are widely used due to their favorable safety profile and effectiveness. Ketoconazole is often prescribed as a first-line treatment for scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and fungal acne, especially when over-the-counter (OTC) treatments fail.

How to get a ketoconazole prescription online

Getting a ketoconazole prescription online is simple through Klarity Health. With virtual care, you can consult a provider from the comfort of your home and receive your treatment plan without visiting a clinic.

Steps to get a ketoconazole prescription online:

  • Step 1: Book an online appointment with a licensed provider on Klarity Health at helloklarity.com.
  • Step 2: Discuss your symptoms and medical history during a virtual consultation.
  • Step 3: If appropriate, the provider will prescribe ketoconazole in a topical or oral form.
  • Step 4: Your prescription will be sent to your preferred local or online pharmacy.
  • Step 5: Begin treatment and schedule follow-ups if needed for effectiveness and safety monitoring.

This process typically takes less than 24 to 48 hours, and in some cases, same-day appointments are available. Ensure you provide accurate medical history and list any medications you currently take to avoid adverse interactions.

What does ketoconazole cost?

The cost of ketoconazole varies, depending on the formulation, quantity, brand, and pharmacy location. Topical forms, such as ketoconazole cream or shampoo, are generally affordable, especially when using generic versions. Oral ketoconazole tablets tend to be more expensive and may require prior authorization from your insurance provider due to their potential side effects and limited use.

Here is a general cost breakdown for U.S. patients:

FormulationTypical dosagePrice range (without insurance)
Ketoconazole cream2% (15 g to 30 g tube)$15 to $35
Ketoconazole shampoo2% (120-mL bottle)$20 to $45
Oral ketoconazole200 mg (30 tablets)$80 to $140

Using prescription discount programs or coupons from platforms like GoodRx can reduce the price substantially. Some pharmacies may offer lower-cost generic alternatives, especially for the topical versions. Patients with insurance may have lower copays depending on their pharmacy benefits. Be sure to confirm whether your insurance plan covers the formulation you’ve been prescribed and if any prior authorization is required for oral ketoconazole.

How does ketoconazole compare to other medications?

Ketoconazole is one of several antifungal medications available and is often compared to alternatives like fluconazole, itraconazole, clotrimazole, and terbinafine. Each has specific use cases, safety profiles, and routes of administration, which influence a provider’s decision when choosing an antifungal treatment.

Comparison highlights:

  • Fluconazole (Diflucan): Often preferred for vaginal yeast infections and systemic candidiasis. Has fewer drug interactions and lower liver toxicity compared to oral ketoconazole.
  • Itraconazole: Like ketoconazole, it treats systemic infections but is considered safer and more effective. It’s also approved for fungal nail infections.
  • Clotrimazole: Commonly used for skin and vaginal fungal infections. Available over-the-counter as a cream or suppository, making it more accessible.
  • Terbinafine: Highly effective for athlete’s foot, jock itch, and fungal nail infections. Oral forms are usually well-tolerated and prescribed for the longer-term treatment of nail fungus.

Ketoconazole is often reserved for scalp and skin fungal issues due to its effectiveness in topical form. Its oral use is limited but still valuable when other antifungals are contraindicated or unavailable. A provider can help determine which antifungal is most appropriate based on the site and severity of infection, potential interactions, and your medical history.
