Tedol is also indicated for the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis, tinea (pityriasis) versicolor and seborrheic dermatitis (a skin condition related to the presence of Pityrosporum ovale). Due to its formulation, Tedol 20 mg/ml in the cutaneous liquid pharmaceutical form is more indicated in situations of infections in hairy or extensive areas.

Active substances: 20 mg/g ketoconazole.

The fungicidal activity of ketoconazole at high concentrations can result in a direct physicochemical effect of the drug on the cell membrane. Although the exact mechanism of action is not completely clear, the selective toxicity of ketoconazole to fungi and yeasts is related to the inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis and interference with other membrane lipids.
