What is the difference between ketoconazole & fluconazole?

Ketoconazole is a synthetic antifungal drug used to prevent and treat skin and fungal infections, especially in immunocompromised patients such as those with AIDS. Due to its side-effect profile, it has been superseded by newer antifungals, such as fluconazole and itraconazole. Ketoconazole is sold commercially as an anti-dandruff shampoo, branded Nizoral®, by Janssen Pharmaceutica.\n\nKetoconazole is very lipophilic, which leads to accumulation in fatty tissues. The less toxic and more effective triazole compounds fluconazole and itraconazole have largely replaced ketoconazole for internal use. Ketoconazole is best absorbed at highly acidic levels, so antacids or other causes of decreased stomach acid levels will lower the drug's efficacy when taken orally.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketoconazole\n\n\nFluconazole (INN) (IPA: [fluˈkɒnəzoʊl]) is a triazole antifungal drug used in the treatment and prevention of superficial and systemic fungal infections. It is commonly marketed under the trade name Diflucan (Pfizer).\n\nMode of action\nLike other imidazole- and triazole-class antifungals, fluconazole inhibits the fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme 14α-demethylase. Mammalian demethylase activity is much less sensitive to fluconazole than fungal demethylase. This inhibition prevents the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell wall, and subsequent accumulation of 14α-methyl sterols. Fluconazole is primarily fungistatic, however may be fungicidal against certain organisms in a dose-dependent manner.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluconazole

Best remedy for candida as I know is a capsule called "Fluconazole", it's quite effective for severe infection by candida. It should be used twice, the second one 3 days after the first. Also disinfecting with Povidone Iodine and baking soda solution seperately.\n\nThe depression may be is not related to candida itself, but for the hard situation it brings for the person.

Vaginal yeast infections commonly occur during pregnancy, probably related to the high estrogen levels. Consistently high estrogen is the most likely reason that treatment takes longer to cure a yeast infection during pregnancy.\n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that only vaginal medications, such as cream or vaginal suppositories, be used for yeast infection treatment during pregnancy. Treatment takes longer than usual during pregnancy; 7 days of medication is recommended.\nIf you are pregnant, do not use these nonprescription medications without first discussing your condition with your health professional.\n\nDiflucan is NOT safe to take during pregnancy.

Cephalosporine are a group of antibiotics produced by a marine fungus known as Cephalosporium acremonium . It has an antibacterial properties fight against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. \n            The nystatin is an anti-fungal agent used in the treatment of nonsystamic fungal infection. It is produced during the fermentation by Streptomyces noursei.

Yeah, basically it is treated with Penicillin at 250 mg 3 times a day of Keflex at 250 mg 3 times a day.  In other words antibiotics.

bacterial vaginosis is an infection created by a bacteria and a yeast infection is a fungal infection, a way to combat yeast infections while on antibiotics is to eat lots of yogart and take probiotics.  \nTo clear your BV you cannot have any sexual activity while on the antibiotics and your partner should be checked and treated as well.

No difference whatsoever. It's just two different names for the same thing.

There are two primary methods of treating nail fungus. Topical treatments (liquids, creams) are commonly used for to treat less severe cases. These treatments are usually acid-based liquids or anti-fungal creams. Oral treatments are powerful anti-fungal medications, such as Lamisil or Sporanox. Prescription oral medications are usually used in more severe or difficult cases.

You can buy an antifungal cream from pharmacies, or get one on prescription. There are various types and brands. For example; terbinafine, clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, and sulconazole. These modern creams are good at clearing fungal skin infections.\n\n    * Apply the cream to the surrounding 4-6 cm of normal skin in addition to the rash.\n    * Apply for as long as advised. This varies between the different creams, so read the instructions carefully. Although the rash may seem to go quite quickly, you still need to apply the cream for 1-2 weeks after the rash has gone. This is to completely clear the fungi from the skin which will prevent the rash from returning.\n\nAn anti-fungal medicine taken by mouth is sometimes prescribed if the rash does not clear with a cream, or if the rash is in many places on the skin in addition to the groin.

They are relatively comparable. Percocet seems to have a little more effect on pain, especially severe pain, and seems to be a little more habit forming. Most of the time, the provider prescribes one or the other depending on types of pain and patients tolerance or intolerance on one or the other drug.

I won't answer this completely, because it looks very much like homework. \n\nI will say that an Aldehyde and a Ketone will yeild different degree alcohols. Reactions that yeild an primary alcohol from an Aldehyde would yeild a secondary alcohol from a ketone. Reactions that yeild an secondary alcohol from an Aldehyde would yeild a tertiary  alcohol from a ketone.

Cannestan cream from the pharmacy...its anti fungal, should help.

The difference between yogurts is the amount of sugar or sweetening.  Yeasts live on sugars.  Acidophiles bacteria live on the by-products of fiber.  Fiber may be as important as anything else.  Avoid sugars.  Eat fiber.

zaditen is not available in the us, but according to the manufacturer the drug is ketotifen.  apparently, these websites say it is used for asthma, but according to the FDA and Drug Facts and Comparisons, ketotifen is used to treat eye infections.  Be wary of medications manufactured or sold outside of the us, over 50% are conterfeit and other countries do not have the high standards of testing the the US does.  especially if it is your child who already has a pre-existing medical condition.\np.s.-if you ever have concerns, speak with your doctor or pharmacist, you can get a lot of bad advice on here.

They're almost identical, if you look at the ingredients.  They both have caffeine in them, to speed the absorption into your bloodstream (so does Excedrin, by the way).  So depending on the person, that may not be a good thing.
