Medical applications
Kesava Lotion is a topical formulation containing Ketoconazole 2% w/v and Zinc Pyrithione 1% w/v, indicated for the treatment of various dermatological conditions caused by fungal and bacterial infections. 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 possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties, effectively reducing the proliferation of microorganisms on the skin surface and alleviating symptoms such as itching, scaling, and redness. Kesava Lotion is primarily used in the management of seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, tinea versicolor, and other superficial fungal infections. The combination of these active ingredients provides a broad-spectrum antimicrobial action, enhancing therapeutic efficacy. The lotion should be applied topically to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional. Patients should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Use during pregnancy and lactation should be under medical supervision. Adverse effects are generally mild and may include local irritation, burning sensation, or dryness at the application site. Kesava Lotion offers an effective and convenient option for the treatment of fungal and bacterial skin infections, promoting symptomatic relief and skin health restoration.
