Ketoconazole

The oral medication used to treat tinea capitis or yeast infections (candidiasis) is the administering of Ketoconazole.

This chemical works more or less in the same way as the creams. It basically interferes with the enzyme that helps to synthesize ergosterol in the fungal cells.

Even though ketoconazole is an essential drug used to treat fungal infections, some patients may find the treatment process painful due to the side effects that are brought by this drug. Some of the side effects include nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and some sensitive patients even develop new rashes and itchiness.

Road to recovery is never easy and the recovery itself comes with a rather heavy price to pay sometimes.
