Ketoconazole trade name?

What is ketoconazole’s most common trade name?

Ketoconazole is sold under multiple brand names depending on the country and formulation. Common trade names include Nizoral (used for both oral and topical/medicated uses in many markets).

Which ketoconazole brands correspond to the pill vs. shampoo/cream?

Trade names usually differ by dosage form:
- Oral tablets: commonly marketed as Nizoral in many places where oral ketoconazole is still available.
- Topical ketoconazole (cream/gel): often sold under Nizoral or other local brand names.
- Ketoconazole shampoo (anti-dandruff / seborrheic dermatitis): commonly branded as Nizoral in many countries.

Why you might see different trade names for the same drug

Ketoconazole is an older medicine, and brand names vary by:
- country/region
- whether it’s topical vs oral
- strength (for example, shampoo concentration or cream potency)

How to find the exact trade name for your country

If you share your country and whether you mean oral tablets or shampoo/cream, I can narrow it to the most likely trade names used there.
