Nizoral, or by its generic name of Ketoconazole, is a broad spectrum anti-fungal drug. Nizoral is distributed in three forms. All are used to treat fungal infections. Nizoral can be prescribed in pill form, in cream form, as well as over the counter in shampoo form. Some of these infections may take several months of treatment to cure.
The primary use for the pill form is for oral thrush. Nizoral decreases testosterone making it an option to use for patients following prostates surgery and penile surgery, preventing post-operative erections. Nizoral is also used prophylatically in patients that are immunocompromised like HIV, Cushing’s disease, transplant patients and others to help prevent fungal infections.
