Dosage

Overdose

If you miss applying Ketost Soap, apply it the next time you wash your hair. Do not over apply the Soap just to compensate for the missed application.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione are antifungal medicines. Dandruff is caused by a fungus Malassezia residing on the scalp. It inhibits the growth of fungus and yeasts by altering the permeability of fungal cell membranes. Hence, it prevents the growth of fungus and yeast. It results in the death of a fungal cell.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

If you were on any steroid creams for a prolonged time, it is recommended to withdraw it over 2-3 weeks, while using Ketost Soap, to prevent worsening of an underlying condition.
