About AF-K Lotion
AF-K Lotion belongs to a class of dermatological medication called 'antifungal' primarily used to prevent fungal infections of the skin like seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on face, scalp, chest, upper back or ears). Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of dandruff that causes an itchy rash with dry, flaky scales on the skin that contains oil glands such as the scalp, face, back and upper chest.
The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. AF-K Lotion works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi, thereby slowing the growth of dandruff on the scalp.
Use AF-K Lotion as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend you how often you take AF-K Lotion based on your medical condition. Some people may experience itching, redness, irritation or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Avoid contact of AF-K Lotion with nose, ears, mouth or eyes. In case AF-K Lotion comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. If you are known to be allergic to AF-K Lotion or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using AF-K Lotion . Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as AF-K Lotion catches fire and burns easily. If you are using any steroidal cream, lotion or ointment, inform your doctor before taking AF-K Lotion . Do not swallow AF-K Lotion . In case of accidental swallowing, contact a nearby poison control centre or consult a doctor immediately.
