The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine.
Common side effects of Ketafung-Z Plus Lotion include a burning sensation, redness, and itching of the skin. Consult your doctor if they persist or become bothersome.

How Ketafung Lotion works
Ketafung-Z Plus Lotion is a combination of two antifungal medicines: Ketoconazole and Zinc pyrithione. It works by destroying the cell membrane of fungi that cause dandruff. Ketoconazole works by breaking down the cell membrane of fungi, effectively killing them, while zinc pyrithione controls fungal growth and reduces irritation, redness, and flaking. Together, they combat fungal infections, soothe the affected area, and prevent recurrence, promoting healthier skin and scalp. Use as directed for best results.
