Indications
Treatment of dermatomycoses due to the following dermatophytes:
- Microsporum canis,
- Microsporum gypseum,
- Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
Dose to be administered and administration route
For oral use.
10 mg of ketoconazole per kg body weight daily, by oral administration. This corresponds to 1 tablet per 20 kg body weight daily.
It is recommended to sample the animal once a month during treatment and to stop antifungal administration after two negative cultures. When mycological follow up is not possible, treatment should be continued for an adequate period of time to ensure mycological cure. If lesions persist after 8 weeks of treatment, medication should be re-evaluated by the responsible veterinarian.
To be administered preferably together with food, in order to maximise absorption.
Tablets can be divided into halves or quarters to ensure accurate dosing. Put the tablet on a flat surface, with its scored side facing up and the convex (rounded) side facing the surface.
Halves: With the tip of the thumbs, exert a slight vertical pressure on both sides of the tablet to break it into halves.
Quarters: With the tip of a thumb, exert a slight vertical pressure on the middle of the tablet to break it into quarters.
Adverse reactions
In rare cases (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated), neurological symptoms (apathy, ataxia, tremors), hepatic toxicity, vomiting, anorexia and/or diarrhoea may be observed at standard doses.
Ketoconazole has transient anti-androgen and anti-glucocorticoid effects; it inhibits the conversion of cholesterol to steroid hormones such as testosterone and cortisol in a dose dependent and time-dependent manner. See also section 4.5.1 for effects in male breeding dogs.
