About Ketmed-S Lotion
Ketmed-S Lotion belongs to a class of medicine known as an antifungal. Ketmed-S Lotion 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.
Ketmed-S Lotion is composed of two medicines: Ketoconazole (antifungal) and salicylic acid (keratolytic agent). Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that works by preventing the growth of dandruff-causing fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Salicylic acid belongs to a class of drugs known as keratoplastic, which works by removing dead cells from the skin’s top layer and slowing down skin cells' growth. This effect decreases scaling and dryness, thus relieving itching and cracking related to dandruff.
Use Ketmed-S Lotion as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Ketmed-S Lotion as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience warmth or a burning sensation, skin irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. Most of these side effects of Ketmed-S Lotion do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Ketmed-S Lotion or other medications. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Ketmed-S Lotion. Ketmed-S Lotion is not recommended for children below 12 years as the safety and efficacy of Ketmed-S Lotion have not been established.

Oily hair and scalp, poor diet, certain illnesses like Parkinson's disease, and frequent contact with extreme heat and cold are the factors that increase the chances of having dandruff.
Ketmed-S Lotion is for topical (for skin) use only. Do not apply Ketmed-S Lotion on mucous membranes, lesions or large areas of skin. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water.
Dandruff can be caused by several things. One of the main causes is that the oil produced by the scalp makes the dead skin cells clump together and produce white flakes. Dandruff flakes are dead skin cells that easily fall off the scalp. Dandruff can be caused by dry skin, yeast-like fungus or other skin illnesses like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis or eczema.
If you're using Ketmed-S Lotion and your symptoms improve or disappear, don't stop using it without consulting your doctor. Completing the entire treatment course as prescribed by your doctor is essential to effectively treating your condition. Continue taking Ketmed-S Lotion for the recommended duration, even if you feel better. Stopping too soon can lead to a rebound effect or the infection returning. However, seek medical attention promptly if you experience any persistent or severe side effects.
Do not apply Ketmed-S Lotion to your face unless your doctor has specifically prescribed it for a facial skin condition. Your face's skin is sensitive, and using the lotion without guidance can cause irritation, redness, burning, dryness, or allergic reactions. Always consult your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional before using the lotion on your face.
Common side effects of Ketmed-S Lotion include reactions at the application site, such as warmth, burning sensation, skin irritation, itching, and redness. In most cases, these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, it's important to contact your doctor for further guidance and advice.
