What are the ingredients and amounts in ketoconazole cream 2%?
Ketoconazole cream 2% products are formulated with an amount of ketoconazole (the active ingredient) equivalent to 20 mg per gram of cream. The remaining contents are made up of a cream base (commonly including emollients/occlusives, emulsifiers, and preservatives), but the exact ingredient list and quantities depend on the specific brand and manufacturer.
Because multiple “ketoconazole 2% cream” products exist, the only accurate way to report the full ingredient amounts is to use the exact product label (for example, the package insert or the “Inactive ingredients” section on the specific manufacturer’s PDF).
How can you find the exact ingredient amounts for your specific ketoconazole 2% cream?
Check the “Inactive ingredients” and “Active ingredient” sections on:
- the carton or tube label, and/or
- the FDA-approved prescribing information / package insert for your manufacturer.
If you tell me the brand name (or send the text from the ingredient panel), I can translate it into a clear ingredient-by-ingredient list with amounts as listed on that specific label.
Are ingredients the same across brands of ketoconazole 2% cream?
Not necessarily. Even when the strength is the same (2%), different manufacturers can use different bases (different emulsifiers, solvents, preservatives, and pH adjusters). That’s why the inactive ingredient amounts can vary from one product to another.

The rest of the formula is the cream base and excipients, with exact amounts depending on the brand.
If you share the exact product (brand/manufacturer) or a photo/text of the “Drug Facts”/“Inactive ingredients” panel, I can provide the ingredient amounts exactly as shown on your label.
