Esava Lotion contains Ketoconazole 2% w/v, an antifungal agent indicated for the treatment of various superficial fungal infections of the skin. Ketoconazole belongs to the imidazole class of antifungals and exerts its effect by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to fungal cell death. Esava Lotion is primarily used in the management of dermatophytosis, pityriasis versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, and candidiasis affecting the skin. It is applied topically to the affected area once or twice daily, depending on the severity and type of infection, and should be used for the full prescribed duration to prevent recurrence. The formulation is designed for easy application and rapid absorption, minimizing systemic exposure and associated side effects. Common adverse reactions may include mild local irritation, burning sensation, or erythema at the site of application, which are generally transient. Esava Lotion is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any of the formulation excipients. Caution is advised when applying near the eyes or mucous membranes. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before use, especially in pregnant or lactating women and pediatric patients.
