KETOFLY SOAP

DESCRIPTION

Ketofly soap is a medicated soap containing the active ingredients ketoconazole and cetrimide. It is a prescription-only medication used to treat and prevent fungal infections of the skin and scalp, including conditions like dandruff, athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch.

Here is a general description of Ketofly soap:

Active Ingredients:

• Ketoconazole: An antifungal agent that works by damaging the cell membranes of fungi, which are essential for their survival. This stops the growth of the fungus and helps clear the infection.
• Cetrimide: An antiseptic that helps to kill and prevent the growth of various microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Uses:

• Fungal skin infections: It is used to treat infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch.
• Dandruff: It is effective in controlling dandruff by targeting the fungus that causes the condition, providing relief from a flaky and itchy scalp.

Application:

• Ketofly soap is typically used as directed by a doctor.
• For skin infections, you wet the affected area, create a lather with the soap, and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing.
• For dandruff, it is used on the scalp like a shampoo.

Important Considerations:

• Prescription-only: Ketofly soap is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
• Not for regular use: It is not a regular bathing soap and is recommended for use during active treatment and for a specified period afterward to prevent re-infection.
• Side effects: Common side effects can include mild skin irritation, redness, itching, burning, or peeling.
• Precautions: Avoid contact with eyes, nose, and mouth. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
