Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Esava Soap contains Ketoconazole 2% w/w, an antifungal agent effective in the treatment of various fungal infections of the skin. Ketoconazole belongs to the imidazole class of antifungals and works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to fungal cell death. Esava Soap is indicated for the management of superficial mycoses such as tinea versicolor, pityriasis versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, and other dermatophytic infections.
It is also useful in controlling Malassezia species, which are implicated in dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. The soap formulation allows for topical application, facilitating direct contact with affected areas and reducing fungal colonization. For optimal results, the soap should be applied to the affected area, lathered, and left on the skin for several minutes before rinsing.
Esava Soap is generally well tolerated; however, mild local irritation or dryness may occur in some individuals. It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any other ingredients in the formulation. Use with caution on broken or inflamed skin. Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially in pregnant or lactating women. Regular use as directed can help alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence of fungal infections.
How to use Esava Soap Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use.
