Ketoconazole is a synthetic, broad-spectrum antifungal agent belonging to the imidazole class. It is primarily used to treat fungal infections in both systemic and topical applications. Initially introduced for oral use, ketoconazole has largely been replaced by newer antifungals for systemic infections due to safety concerns, but it remains widely used in topical formulations, such as shampoos and creams, for dermatological conditions.
