Phytoral Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called antifungals indicated to treat various systemic fungal infections such as blastomycosis (infection caused by Blastomyces fungus), chromomycosis (chronic infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue), Coccidioidomycosis (infection caused by Coccidioides fungus), paracoccidioidomycosis (infection caused by Paracoccidioides fungus) and histoplasmosis (lung infection caused by Histoplasma fungus). It is used only when other effective antifungal therapies are not available or tolerated and if potential benefits outweigh potential risks.

Phytoral Tablet contains Ketoconazole which works by destroying fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, kills fungi and treats the fungal infection.
