Ketoconazole (2% w/v) + Zinc pyrithione (1% w/v)
Active composition
+1 more active ingredient
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Kerashine-K Lotion is a topical formulation containing Ketoconazole 2% w/v and Zinc Pyrithione 1% w/v, indicated for the treatment of various fungal and seborrheic conditions of the skin. Ketoconazole, an imidazole antifungal agent, exerts its effect by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting fungal growth and replication. Zinc Pyrithione complements this action with its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, effectively reducing the proliferation of fungi and bacteria responsible for dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and other superficial skin infections. Kerashine-K Lotion is particularly effective in managing pityriasis versicolor, tinea corporis, and seborrheic dermatitis, providing symptomatic relief from itching, scaling, and redness. The lotion formulation allows for easy application and rapid absorption, ensuring targeted delivery to affected areas. It is generally well-tolerated, with minimal adverse effects, though occasional local irritation or hypersensitivity reactions may occur. Patients are advised to apply the lotion as directed by a healthcare professional, typically once or twice daily, and to continue treatment for the prescribed duration to prevent recurrence. Kerashine-K Lotion should be used with caution in individuals with known hypersensitivity to its components and avoided in mucous membranes or broken skin unless directed by a physician.
