Kedermfa Ingredients: Ketoconazole & Neomycin Sulfate
The supplied Kedermfa package insert lists two active ingredients per 5g tube: ketoconazole 100mg and neomycin sulfate 25,000 IU. It also provides the complete list of excipients used in the cream formulation.
The Two Active Ingredients in Kedermfa
The ingredient section of the supplied package insert identifies ketoconazole and neomycin sulfate as the active ingredients in each 5g tube. The amounts below are reproduced from that product information.
Ketoconazole — 100mg
The leaflet describes ketoconazole as an imidazole antifungal medicine and states that it has broad antifungal activity against a range of pathogenic fungi.
The supplied pharmacokinetic information states that ketoconazole is absorbed through the skin, metabolized in the liver into inactive forms, and eliminated mainly in the feces, with a smaller amount excreted in urine.
Neomycin sulfate — 25,000 IU
The leaflet describes neomycin sulfate as an aminoglycoside antibiotic active against many Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria associated with skin infections.
The package insert states that neomycin can be absorbed through the skin and that absorption may increase when mucosa is inflamed or damaged. Once absorbed, it is rapidly excreted by the kidneys in active form, with a listed half-life of approximately 2–3 hours.
What Excipients Are Listed?
In addition to the two active ingredients, the supplied Kedermfa leaflet lists the following excipients in the cream formulation.
Why Checking the Formula Matters
The supplied leaflet states that Kedermfa should not be used by anyone who is allergic to an ingredient in the formulation or who has a history of hypersensitivity to aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Because neomycin sulfate belongs to the aminoglycoside group, the full contraindications and precautions are important when reviewing the formula.
