DESCRIPTION
Ketoconazole Cream 2%, for topical administration only, contains the
broad-spectrum
synthetic antifungal agent, ketoconazole 2%, formulated in an aqueous
cream vehicle
consisting of propylene glycol, stearyl and cetyl alcohols, sorbitan
monostearate,
polysorbate 60, isopropyl myristate, sodium sulfite anhydrous,
polysorbate 80 and
purified water.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
When Ketoconazole Cream 2% was applied dermally to intact or abraded
skin of Beagle
dogs for 28 consecutive days at a dose of 80 mg, there were no
detectable plasma
levels using an assay method having a lower detection limit of 2
ng/ml.
After a single topical application to the chest, back and arms of
normal volunteers,
systemic absorption of ketoconazole was not detected at the 5 ng/ml
level in blood over
a 72-hour period.
Two dermal irritancy studies, a human sensitization test, a
phototoxicity study and a
photoallergy study conducted in 38 male and 62 female volunteers
showed no contact
sensitization of the delayed hypersensitivity type, no irritation, no
phototoxicity and no
photoallergenic potential due to Ketoconazole Cream 2%.
