What is KETO LOTION used for?

KETO LOTION is an antifungal medicine primarily used to treat various fungal and yeast infections of the skin. These include conditions like athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, yeast infections, seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff), and pityriasis versicolor. It can be applied to affected areas on the hands, feet, scalp, face, chest, back, groin, and genital area.

How does KETO LOTION work?

KETO LOTION contains Ketoconazole (2% w/v) as its active ingredient. Ketoconazole works by damaging the cell membranes of fungi, which are crucial for their survival and growth. By disrupting these membranes, it stops the growth and ultimately kills the fungi and yeast responsible for the infection, thereby clearing the infection and relieving symptoms like itching, redness, and scaling.

What is the usual dosage for KETO LOTION?

KETO LOTION is for external use only. For most fungal skin infections, it is typically applied once daily to the affected area and the skin immediately surrounding it. For conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, it might be applied twice daily. The duration of treatment usually ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, but it's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the infection from returning. Wash your hands before and after applying the lotion, unless your hands are the treated area.

What are the possible side effects of KETO LOTION?

KETO LOTION is generally well-tolerated. Common mild side effects at the application site may include skin burning, itching, redness, irritation, dryness, or stinging. If these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Serious allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms like rash, swelling of the face, lips, throat, or difficulty breathing.

Is KETO LOTION safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

KETO LOTION is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because only tiny amounts are absorbed into the body. However, it is always recommended to consult your doctor before using this medication if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, to weigh the potential benefits against any possible risks. If breastfeeding, ensure the lotion does not come into contact with the baby, especially around the nipples.

Can KETO LOTION be taken with other medications?

Topical ketoconazole, the active ingredient in KETO LOTION, has no noted severe, serious, or moderate interactions with other drugs when used topically. However, if you are currently using a cream, lotion, or ointment that contains a steroid, you should inform your doctor before starting KETO LOTION. Your doctor may advise a waiting period or adjust the treatment plan to prevent your condition from flaring up.

What precautions should be taken while using KETO LOTION?

Avoid getting KETO LOTION in your eyes, nose, mouth, or on open wounds, as it may cause irritation. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with water. Do not cover the treated area with tight bandages or airtight dressings unless specifically advised by your doctor, as this can increase absorption and potential side effects. KETO LOTION may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, so take appropriate sun protection measures. Keep the affected skin area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items like towels to prevent spreading the infection.

What happens if a dose of KETO LOTION is missed?

If you miss a dose of KETO LOTION, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double or extra dose to make up for a missed one.

How should KETO LOTION be stored?

KETO LOTION should be stored in a cool and dry place, typically below 25°C or 30°C, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the lotion out of sight and reach of children and pets. Do not freeze the medicine.
