About Keto-B Lotion 30 ml

Keto-B Lotion 30 ml is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat fungal infections, such as athlete's foot (ringworm of the foot), jock itch (ringworm of the groin) and ringworm infections. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin. Fungi can live in the air, soil, water, and plants. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness and scaling of the skin.

Keto-B Lotion 30 ml is composed of two medicines: Ketoconazole (antifungal) and Beclomethasone dipropionate (steroid). Ketoconazole works by damaging the fungal cell membrane which is essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection. Beclomethasone dipropionate works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. 

Keto-B Lotion 30 ml is for external use only. Use Keto-B Lotion 30 ml as advised by your doctor. You are recommended to use Keto-B Lotion 30 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. Some people may experience itching, dryness, redness, and burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Keto-B Lotion 30 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Ketoconazole, Beclomethasone dipropionate or any other medications. Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, diabetes, asthma, sulphite allergy, an autoimmune disorder, cataract or glaucoma, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), thyroid diseases, and heart problems (with prolonged QT wave of heartbeat). Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Keto-B Lotion 30 ml.
