Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Kerashine-CT Anti-Dandruff Lotion is a topical formulation combining Ketoconazole (2% w/v) and Coal Tar (4% w/v) designed for the effective management of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Ketoconazole, an imidazole antifungal agent, exhibits broad-spectrum activity against Malassezia species, which are commonly implicated in dandruff pathogenesis, thereby reducing fungal colonization and associated inflammation. Coal Tar, a keratoplastic and antipruritic agent, helps normalize epidermal cell proliferation and reduces scaling and itching. The synergistic action of these active ingredients provides both antifungal efficacy and symptomatic relief from itching and flaking. Kerashine-CT is indicated for use in patients with moderate to severe dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. The lotion should be applied topically to the affected areas, typically twice daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. Caution is advised in patients with sensitive skin or known hypersensitivity to either component. Prolonged use should be monitored to avoid potential adverse effects such as skin irritation or photosensitivity. This combination therapy offers a comprehensive approach to dandruff management by targeting both the underlying fungal cause and symptomatic discomfort, improving scalp health and patient quality of life.
