Kozol Zpto Lotion

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Kozol Zpto Lotion is a combination of two antifungal medicines that effectively treat fungal skin infections and dandruff. It kills the fungi that cause the infection and relieves itching and irritation.

Kozol Zpto Lotion is only meant for external use and should be used as your doctor advises. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied only to the affected areas of the skin with clean and dry hands. Wash your hands before and after the application of the medicine. If it gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with water. It may take several days to weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine.


Common side effects of Kozol Zpto Lotion include a burning sensation, redness, and itching of the skin. Consult your doctor if they persist or become bothersome. These symptoms are usually temporary and resolve on their own. If the irritation persists or worsens, stop using it and consult a doctor.


Before using Kozol Zpto Lotion, check for allergies to its ingredients and avoid it if you have sensitive skin or open wounds. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use to make sure it is safe for them. Discontinue if irritation occurs and seek medical advice if symptoms persist. Talk to your doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine for dandruff.


Benefits of Kozol Zpto Lotion

In Treatment of Dandruff

Kozol Zpto Lotion is used to control dandruff and gives relief from scaly, flaky, and itchy scalp. It stops the growth of fungus that causes dandruff. Regular use of Kozol Zpto Lotion protects your scalp and prevents dandruff. Gently massage your scalp with Kozol Zpto Lotion to loosen flakes. Make sure you complete the full course of treatment. This will ensure the infection is completely cured and prevent it from returning.

In Treatment of Fungal skin infections

Kozol Zpto Lotion is used to treat and control fungal infections like athlete’s foot (infection between toes), jock itch (infection of the groin area), ringworm, and other fungal skin infections (candidiasis). Keep using the Kozol Zpto Lotion for as long as it is prescribed.

How to use Kozol Zpto Lotion

This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Shake it well and apply to the area evenly.

How Kozol Zpto Lotion works

Kozol Zpto 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.
