Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Ketz Soap 75gm. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Skin irritation: If you experience skin irritation, try applying a gentle moisturiser after washing off Ketz Soap 75gm.
Dryness or oiliness of skin/scalp: If you notice your skin or scalp becoming too dry or oily, consider reducing the frequency of use.

Ketz Soap 75gm contains ketoconazole (2%), which works in the following ways:

Inhibits Ergosterol Synthesis: Ketoconazole blocks the production of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. By doing this, it disrupts the structure and function of these membranes.
Increases Cell Membrane Permeability: When ergosterol synthesis is inhibited by ketoconazole, the permeability of fungal cell membranes increases. This causes leakage of cellular contents, eventually leading to fungal cell death.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Ketz Soap 75gm if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using it.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it is recommended to use Ketz Soap 75gm with caution. Discuss with your doctor the potential risks and benefits.
