Ketofly Soap 75gm
Description
Ketofly soap is a medicated antifungal soap that contains ketoconazole as its active ingredient. Ketoconazole is an azole antifungal that works by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of the fungal cell membrane. By inhibiting the production of this essential substance, the soap disrupts the structure and integrity of the fungal cell, ultimately leading to its death and the resolution of the fungal infection. This targeted mechanism of action makes it effective against a variety of fungal pathogens.
The soap is specifically indicated for the treatment of fungal infections affecting the skin and scalp, such as dandruff, ringworm, and other superficial mycoses. It should not be used as a regular hygiene soap or in the absence of a diagnosed fungal infection. Its antifungal properties are intended for therapeutic use, and it should not be shared with others to prevent the spread of infection, which can occur through direct skin-to-skin contact or via contaminated objects.
Proper application involves wetting the affected area, creating a generous lather, and gently massaging it into the skin. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. The product is for external use only and should be stored in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Although it is applied topically, caution is advised for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and consultation with a doctor is recommended before use.
While Ketofly soap is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including itching, skin irritation, redness, or peeling. In rare cases, blistering or hair loss may occur. If any of these symptoms worsen or if a skin allergy develops, it is important to discontinue use and seek medical advice. It is also not recommended for use on children due to their sensitive skin or on areas with open wounds, cuts, or burns.
