KETO AZ LOTION 75 ML is a dermatological medication containing Ketoconazole and Zinc Pyrithione, primarily used to treat various fungal infections of the skin and scalp.

What is Keto AZ Lotion used for?

Keto AZ Lotion is primarily used to treat and prevent fungal infections such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis (a condition causing dry, flaky skin on the scalp, face, chest, or ears), and localized tinea versicolor of the scalp. It can also be used for other fungal skin infections like athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm.

How does Keto AZ Lotion work?

Keto AZ Lotion contains two active ingredients: Ketoconazole and Zinc Pyrithione. Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that works by disrupting the fungal cell membranes, which are essential for their survival, thereby stopping the growth and spread of the fungus. Zinc Pyrithione has broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties that help control fungal and bacterial growth, reduce excess oil production, and alleviate scalp irritation and flaking. Together, they combat infections, soothe the affected area, and promote healthier skin and scalp.

What is the usual dosage and how should I apply it?

The dosage and duration of treatment with Keto AZ Lotion will be determined by your doctor based on your medical condition. It is for external use only. When applying to the scalp, wet your hair and scalp, apply enough lotion to create a lather, massage for about one minute, leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly with water. For skin application, wash and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer of the lotion evenly to the clean, dry affected area and a small amount of the surrounding skin. Always wash your hands before and after application.

What are the possible side effects of Keto AZ Lotion?

Common side effects include itching, redness, irritation, or a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects are usually temporary and tend to resolve over time. Less common side effects can include hair root infection, increased tear production, unusual hair loss or thinning, dry skin, rash, changes in hair texture, acne, eye irritation, flaking skin, or altered taste. If side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience severe reactions such as an allergic reaction (swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue, or throat causing difficulty in breathing or swallowing), severe skin irritation, or no improvement in your condition, stop using the lotion and consult your doctor immediately.

Is Keto AZ Lotion safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Keto AZ Lotion. While it is generally considered safe if prescribed, your doctor will assess the benefits against potential risks to decide if it is appropriate for you.

Can Keto AZ Lotion be used with other medications?

Inform your doctor about all other medications you are using. If you have been using steroidal creams (such as betamethasone or hydrocortisone) for an extended period, it is recommended to gradually reduce their use over 2-3 weeks before starting Keto AZ Lotion to prevent worsening of the underlying condition. Certain medications like immunosuppressants (e.g., cyclosporine), anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), and other antifungal medications (e.g., fluconazole) may interact with Keto AZ Lotion, potentially affecting its absorption or effectiveness, or increasing the risk of side effects.

What precautions should be taken while using Keto AZ Lotion?

Keto AZ Lotion is for external use only. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, mouth, or ears. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with water. Do not swallow the lotion; if accidentally ingested, contact a poison control center or doctor immediately. Keto AZ Lotion is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Avoid using it if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Do not use it in excessive amounts or for a longer duration than prescribed by your doctor. Also, avoid smoking or going near naked flames as this product can catch fire easily. If your skin condition does not improve after 2-4 weeks of treatment, consult your doctor. If you have pre-existing liver disease or certain skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, discuss this with your doctor before use.

What happens if a dose is missed?

If you miss an application of Keto AZ 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 schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

How should Keto AZ Lotion be stored?
