ATIKET 200MG TABLET 10'S

How ATIKET 200MG TABLET 10'S Works

• ATIKET 200MG TABLET 10'S contains Ketoconazole, an antifungal medication. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. Ergosterol is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of these membranes. By interfering with ergosterol production, ATIKET 200MG TABLET 10'S disrupts the fungal cell membrane, leading to increased permeability and leakage of cellular contents. This ultimately hinders fungal growth and proliferation, effectively combating the fungal infection.
• Specifically, ketoconazole binds to and inhibits the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, which is responsible for converting lanosterol to ergosterol. This enzyme is part of the cytochrome P450 enzyme system. The selective action of ketoconazole on fungal cells, with minimal impact on human cells, contributes to its effectiveness as an antifungal agent.
• The disruption of the fungal cell membrane not only prevents the fungus from growing but also weakens its ability to resist the body's natural defenses. This allows the immune system to more effectively target and eliminate the infection. ATIKET 200MG TABLET 10'S is therefore effective against a broad range of fungal infections, including those affecting the skin, hair, nails, and internal organs. It is essential to use this medication as prescribed by a healthcare professional to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of side effects. The duration of treatment and dosage will depend on the type and severity of the infection.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them.
