Same salt, different brands:

Most substitutes contain the same active ingredient - CETRIMIDE-0.5%W/W + KETOCONAZOLE-2%W/W, but the fillers, coating, or manufacturing quality may vary slightly.

Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Zoya Soap is used to treat fungal skin infections and dandruff.

Zoya Soap contains Ketoconazole (antifungal) and Cetrimide (antiseptic). Ketoconazole works by stopping the growth of fungi causing dandruff. Cetrimide works by damaging the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria and other microorganisms. Thereby, kills micro-organisms. Thus, Zoya Soap helps to treat dandruff and provides relief from flaky and itchy scalp.

If you have mild dandruff, you are recommended to wash your hair daily with a gentle shampoo to reduce scalp oiliness. If your regular shampoo does not work or if you have severe dandruff, use an anti-dandruff shampoo.

You are recommended to use Zoya Soap for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. However, if the condition persists or worsens after 2 to 4 weeks of treatment with Zoya Soap, please consult a doctor.

You are not recommended to stop using Zoya Soap without consulting your doctor, as it may worsen the condition. Therefore, use Zoya Soap for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, and if you experience any difficulty while using Zoya Soap, please consult your doctor.

The common side effects of Zoya Soap include skin irritation, dry skin, burning sensation, and skin rash. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention, but if they persist, please consult your doctor.

Zoya Soap should not be used in patients with a known allergy to any of its components. It should not be used on open or damaged skin, as it may cause irritation or systemic absorption.

Zoya Soap should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children.
