Abstract

The goals of the current studies were to create herbal excipients-based ketoconazole cream to enhance the efficacy against chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Ketoconazole, coconut oil and other herbal excipients namely shea butter, bees wax, Lanolin and Rose oil were used for the formulation. Each formulation was prepared with various concentrations of coconut oil. Every prepared formulations were evaluated successfully. Among all the formulations F4 was the best that exhibiting a higher in vitro diffusion rate 59.6 ± 0.10 % CDR within 480 min with maximum antifungal efficacy, compared with the marketed formulation. We might therefore say that herbal excipients-based cream improved patient compliance and is a superior alternative to oral preparation, easier administration, local bioavailability, and better results for individuals with persistent mucocutaneous candidiasis who are afflicted with fungi.
