Petoral-K Tablets are a veterinary prescription oral antifungal medication formulated specifically for dogs suffering from chronic, recurrent, or severe fungal infections. Powered by Ketoconazole IP 200 mg, this broad-spectrum antifungal works systemically to eliminate fungal organisms from the skin and internal tissues. It is especially recommended in cases where topical antifungal therapy alone is not sufficient and systemic treatment is required for complete recovery.
Petoral-K is commonly prescribed for stubborn fungal skin infections, fungal ear infections (otitis), ringworm, and deeper systemic mycoses affecting multiple body systems. The flavored and scored tablet design ensures easy administration and precise dosing.
Composition
Each tablet contains:
Pharmacological Class: Antifungal (Imidazole derivative)
How It Works
Ketoconazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting fungal cell membrane formation, it stops fungal growth and replication, leading to effective elimination of infection.
