Active composition
Ketoconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, compromising fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
KZ Lotion contains Ketoconazole 2% w/v, an imidazole antifungal agent effective against a broad spectrum of fungal infections. It is primarily indicated for the topical treatment of superficial mycoses such as dermatophytosis, candidiasis, and pityriasis versicolor. Ketoconazole exerts its antifungal activity by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and ultimately fungal cell death.
KZ Lotion is formulated for external use and should be applied to the affected area once or twice daily as directed by a healthcare professional. It is suitable for use on the skin and scalp, providing relief from symptoms such as itching, redness, scaling, and inflammation associated with fungal infections. Patients should cleanse and dry the affected area before application and 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. KZ Lotion should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or other components of the formulation. Proper adherence to treatment duration is essential to prevent recurrence and ensure effective eradication of the infection.
