<p><strong>Vaginal candidiasis</strong>: 1 tablet (200 mg) tablet twice daily for 5 days.<br />
<br />
<strong>All other indications</strong>: 1 tablet (200 mg) once daily until at least one week after the symptoms have disappeared and the cultures have become negative.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Administration</strong></p>

<p>Ketoconazole should be taken at meal times for maximal resorption. Because resorption depends on intact gastric activity, the concomitant treatment with agents that reduce gastric secretion (anticholinergic drugs, antacids, H2 blockers) should be avoided. When indicated, such drugs should be taken not earlier than two hours after ketoconazole. If clinical responsiveness is insufficient within the expected time, the dose of ketoconazole may be doubled (400 mg once daily).</p>
