Although not mandatory to use for 45 days, I would insist on prolonged use as your doctor has advised. This is because, some fungal hyphae remain there for long and often germinate after the course is completed. This may lead to failure of treatment which can be avoided with prolonged treatment with topical ketoconazole (keto cream) and oral griseofulvin (Gris OD). Your doctor has given you the right medicines, so please continue it.
