Keto B Lotion 30ml, manufactured by Med Manor Organics Pvt. Ltd., is a topical medication used to treat various fungal skin infections. It combines an antifungal agent with a corticosteroid to combat infection and reduce associated inflammation.

What is Keto B Lotion used for?

Keto B Lotion is primarily used to manage a variety of fungal skin infections and their related inflammatory symptoms. These include conditions such as athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), ringworm (tinea corporis), tinea versicolor, and candidiasis (yeast infection). It helps in reducing redness, swelling, and itching that often accompany these infections.

How does Keto B Lotion work?

Keto B Lotion works through the combined action of its two active ingredients: Ketoconazole and Beclomethasone Dipropionate. Ketoconazole is an antifungal that prevents fungi from growing by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of the fungal cell membrane, leading to fungal cell death. Beclomethasone Dipropionate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness by suppressing the release of chemicals in the body that cause these symptoms.

What is the usual dosage and how should it be applied?

Keto B Lotion is for external use only. It should be applied as directed by your doctor. Typically, a thin layer of the lotion is applied to the affected areas, usually once or twice daily. You should clean and dry the infected area thoroughly before application and gently massage the lotion into the skin until fully absorbed. It is important to wash your hands before and after applying the lotion, unless the treatment is for your hands.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of Keto B Lotion may include local reactions at the application site such as a burning sensation, itching, skin irritation, dryness of the skin, and redness (erythema). Folliculitis (infection in the hair follicles) may also occur. Most of these side effects are temporary and usually resolve on their own. However, if any side effects persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult your doctor.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Caution is advised when using Keto B Lotion during pregnancy. While limited human data is available, animal studies have shown potential harmful effects on the developing baby. Therefore, it should only be used if clearly needed and after consulting a doctor, who will weigh the benefits against potential risks. For breastfeeding mothers, the presence of the active ingredients in breast milk after topical application is unknown. Nursing mothers should exercise caution and avoid applying the lotion to the breast area, consulting their doctor before use.

Can it be taken with other medications?

Keto B Lotion is applied externally, so it is less likely to interact with orally taken medicines. However, it may interact with other topically applied medications. It is recommended to discuss all other topical medications you are using with your doctor. Caution is also advised when co-administering with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors like ritonavir (used in HIV infection) and itraconazole (used to treat fungal infections), as there is a potential for increased systemic exposure to beclomethasone.

What precautions should be taken?

Avoid getting Keto B Lotion into your eyes, nose, mouth, or open wounds. In case of accidental contact with these areas, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings like bandages unless specifically instructed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects. It's important not to use this medicine for any condition other than what it was prescribed for. If your condition does not improve after about a week of use, or if it worsens, consult your doctor.

What happens if a dose is missed?

If you miss an application of Keto B Lotion, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular application schedule. Do not apply a double dose to compensate for the missed one.

How should it be stored?

Keto B Lotion should be stored in its original container in a clean and dry place, protected from moisture, sunlight, and heat. The storage temperature should typically be below 30°C. Keep the medicine out of reach and sight of children and pets. Do not use expired or damaged medicine.
