KETOSTAR ANTI-DANDRUFF LOTION

DESCRIPTION

Ketostar Anti-Dandruff Lotion is a medicated topical solution primarily used for the treatment of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It is an antifungal medication that works by targeting the fungi responsible for these scalp conditions.

Ingredients and How They Work:

• Ketoconazole: This is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. By disrupting the cell membrane, Ketoconazole effectively kills the fungus and prevents its growth and spread.
• Zinc Pyrithione (ZPTO): This ingredient has broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. It helps to control the growth of fungi and bacteria on the scalp, which in turn reduces irritation, redness, and flaking.

Together, these two ingredients work to combat fungal overgrowth on the scalp, soothe the affected area, and prevent the recurrence of dandruff.

Uses and Benefits:

• Dandruff: It is used to control dandruff, providing relief from a scaly, flaky, and itchy scalp.
• Seborrheic Dermatitis: It treats seborrheic dermatitis, a condition that causes red, dry, flaky, and itchy skin on the scalp, face, and other oily areas.
• Fungal Skin Infections: It may also be used to treat other fungal skin infections like athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm.

Directions for Use:

• The lotion is for external use only.
• It should be applied as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Generally, a thin layer is applied to the affected area of the scalp with clean, dry hands.
• It is often recommended to leave the lotion on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
• The frequency of use and duration of treatment can vary, so it is important to follow a doctor’s instructions.

Possible Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Application site reactions (e.g., burning, irritation, itching, or redness)
• Dryness of the scalp or hair

If side effects persist or worsen, it’s recommended to consult a doctor.
