What does “ketoconazole cream 2%” usually mean?
“Ketoconazole cream 2%” means the formulation contains 2% ketoconazole by weight (typically written as 2% w/w). The exact inactive ingredients and their percentages depend on the specific brand/generic and the country’s approved product formulation.
What ingredients (and percentages) are in ketoconazole cream 2%?
I don’t have the specific ingredient list and percentage breakdown for your exact ketoconazole cream 2% product in the information provided here. To give you accurate percentages, I need one of the following:
- The brand name (e.g., “Nizoral” or a specific store/generic name)
- The manufacturer
- The country (US/UK/India/etc.)
- A photo or transcription of the “Inactive ingredients” / “Composition” section from your tube/carton
How to find the exact ingredient percentages on the box or leaflet
Most ketoconazole 2% creams include either:
- A “Composition/Ingredients” section with the w/w amounts for ketoconazole and the full list of excipients (often without exact percentages for each excipient), or
- A full “Ingredients” list only (with no excipient percentages)
If your package lists only “ingredients” (no percentages), the excipient percentages may still be available in the product’s regulatory dossier, but they’re not always printed for consumers.
If you share the label text, can you compute the percentages?
Yes. If you paste the composition list from the packaging (or tell me the exact product/strength/manufacturer), I can format it into a clear “ingredient → percentage” breakdown and confirm the 2% ketoconazole concentration.

No sources were provided in the prompt, and I can’t reliably look up the exact excipient percentage composition without knowing the exact product and jurisdiction. If you tell me the brand/manufacturer (or upload the label text), I can proceed accurately.
