What is Ketoconazole Compounded?
Ketoconazole in tablet form is used to treat fungal infections. It is also used to treat Cushing's disease. Compounding is beneficial in instances where a specific dosage is unavailable or in different forms to make it easier to dose your pet. Ketoconazole tablets require a prescription from your veterinarian.

Ketoconazole Compounded Directions:
- Ketoconazole is a prescription medication used in dogs and cats to treat various internal and external fungal infections. Ketoconazole is also used to treat Cushing's disease.
- Ketoconazole should be given with food. Allow plenty of water for the pet to drink. Do not give Ketoconazole within 2 hours of antacids.
- It is very important that you tell your veterinarian or pharmacist about any other medications your pet is taking.
Results of treatment may not be seen for 1 or 2 weeks and the duration of treatment may last up to several months. The duration of administration depends on the condition being treated, response to the medication and the development of any adverse effects. Make sure you complete the prescription unless specifically directed by your veterinarian. Even if your pet feels better, the entire treatment plan should be completed to prevent relapse or prevent the development of resistance.
