About Protar-K Solution
Protar-K Solution is primarily used to treat dandruff and control seborrheic dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin on the scalp). Dandruff is a flaky, itchy scalp without signs of inflammation.
Protar-K Solution is composed of ketoconazole and coal tar. Ketoconazole works by stopping the growth of dandruff-causing fungi. Coal tar works by removing dead cells from the skin’s top layer and slowing down the growth of skin cells.
You may experience warmth or a burning sensation, skin irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. The burning sensation may usually last for five minutes after application. Inform your doctor, if the side effects are persistent.
Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Protar-K Solution or other medications. Use of Protar-K Solution is contraindicated in people with asthma, heart problems. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before starting Protar-K Solution . Do not give this Protar-K Solution to a child without medical advice.
