About Phytoral Powder
Phytoral Powder is used to treat fungal infections of the skin like ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection.
Phytoral Powder contains Ketoconazole, which works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival. Thus, it kills fungi and yeast.
Common side effects include dry skin, itching, redness or a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Phytoral Powder do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to ketoconazole, inform your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Phytoral Powder . Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Phytoral Powder may catch fire and burn easily. If you are using any steroidal cream, lotion or ointment, inform your doctor before using Phytoral Powder to adjust the dose.
