Medical applications
Ketar Scalp Solution is a topical formulation containing Ketoconazole 2% w/v and Coal Tar 4% w/v, indicated for the treatment of various scalp conditions such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Ketoconazole, an imidazole antifungal agent, exhibits broad-spectrum activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, and other fungi by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, thereby disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity.
Coal Tar, a byproduct of coal processing, exerts anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and keratoplastic effects, helping to reduce scaling, itching, and inflammation associated with chronic scalp disorders. The combined action of Ketoconazole and Coal Tar in Ketar Scalp Solution provides effective symptomatic relief and aids in controlling fungal proliferation and excessive keratinocyte turnover.
This solution is intended for external use only and should be applied to the affected scalp area as directed by a healthcare professional, typically once or twice daily. Patients should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, and discontinue use if irritation or hypersensitivity reactions occur. Ketar Scalp Solution is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any of its components.
Regular use as prescribed can lead to significant improvement in scalp condition and patient comfort.
