Is there any specific time in a day to use ketoconazole? Can I use it during night? And for how long should I keep the lotion on my body before bathing?

No .there s no specific tyme to use ketoconazol cream but generally we recommend to use it after bath (during daytime) and once at night time. More the contact time more it wil be effective.

Any topical antifungal should applied two times in a day morning & evening. If you apply at night contact, contact time will increase & drug will be more effective. Best use is after bath & dry with towel. Clean & dry area is most important.
