KETOSCORE CT CREAM

Ketoscore CT Cream is a topical dermatological preparation commonly used for its antifungal and keratolytic properties. It is typically prescribed for various fungal skin infections, particularly those accompanied by thickening of the skin or scaling.

Composition

Most formulations of Ketoscore CT contain two primary active ingredients:

• Ketoconazole: A potent antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes. This disrupts the membrane’s integrity and stops the growth of fungi.

• Coal Tar: A keratolytic agent that helps to shed dead skin cells from the top layer and slow down the overgrowth of skin cells. It is particularly effective in reducing itching, scaling, and inflammation.

Primary Uses

The cream is generally indicated for the treatment of:

• Seborrheic Dermatitis: Red, itchy, and scaly rash, often on the scalp or face.

• Psoriasis: Chronic skin conditions characterized by thick, red, scaly patches.

• Tinea Infections: Various fungal infections like athlete’s foot or ringworm where the skin has become particularly dry or crusty.

Application Details

• Usage: Apply a thin layer to the affected area as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Precaution: Avoid contact with eyes, nose, or mouth. It is recommended to wash hands thoroughly after application unless the hands are the area being treated.

• Side Effects: Some users may experience mild stinging, redness, or localized irritation at the application site.

Storage and Handling

• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

• Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use.
