Active composition
+1 more active ingredient
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Ketostar Anti Dandruff Lotion contains Ketoconazole 2% w/v and Zinc Pyrithione 1% w/v, formulated to effectively manage dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Ketoconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent, inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting fungal growth and proliferation. Zinc Pyrithione exhibits antibacterial and antifungal properties, reducing scalp flaking, itching, and inflammation associated with dandruff. The combination of these active ingredients provides a synergistic effect, targeting the underlying fungal etiology and alleviating symptomatic scalp irritation. Ketostar Anti Dandruff Lotion is indicated for the treatment of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and other scalp conditions characterized by scaling and itching. It is applied topically to the affected areas, typically once or twice daily, depending on the severity of symptoms and the prescribing physician’s recommendations. This formulation is suitable for adult and adolescent use and is generally well tolerated, with minimal risk of adverse effects. Patients should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes and discontinue use if irritation or hypersensitivity occurs. Ketostar Anti Dandruff Lotion offers an effective therapeutic option for restoring scalp health and improving patient quality of life through targeted antifungal and anti-inflammatory action.
