How Do Nizoral Pills Work? Nizoral 200mg tablets contain Ketoconazole, a solution effective against a large variety of fungi, killing them by blocking the union of ergosterol, which is an important factor of fungal cell membrane. Nizoral 200mg tablets reduce the fungal cell membrane. As a result, the cell contents start to leak out, killing the fungus, preventing the infection from spreading and relieving symptoms caused by the infection, including, itching and inflammation.

If skin infections can’t be treated with topical solutions such as Nizoral Cream because the affected areas require stronger treatment or are too sensitive, then Nizoral Tablets can be used. Nizoral Pills are also given as a treatment for vaginal and oral mouth infections.

Sometimes this dose may be increased to two tablets once daily. Children weighing between 15 and 30 kg one-half tablet (= 100 mg) once daily with meal. Nizoral is not recommended for use in children weighing less than 15 kg.
