Scientific Evidence

Ketoconazole, the active ingredient in Livarol suppositories, is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to the death of the fungal cells, effectively treating yeast infections.

Studies have shown the efficacy of ketoconazole in treating vaginal candidiasis. A study published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy demonstrated that ketoconazole was highly effective in eradicating Candida species in women with recurrent vaginal yeast infections.
