Keloc-AZ Lotion
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Keloc-AZ Lotion is a combination medicine that treats fungal skin infections. It kills the fungi that cause the infection and relieves itching and irritation. It also contains aloe vera that moisturizes the skin and makes it healthy.
Keloc-AZ Lotion is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefits from it. Do not use more than needed, as it will not clear the infection faster and may only increase the side effects. If it accidentally gets into the eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with water thoroughly.
This medicine is usually safe; however, it may cause burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and self-limiting. Serious side effects are rare.
It is not likely that other medicines that are taken by mouth or injection will affect the way Keloc-AZ Lotion works. But talk to the doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine for the infection. This medicine is not recommended for pregnant women. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using this medicine.

How Keloc-AZ Lotion works
Keloc-AZ Lotion is a combination of three medicines, aloe vera, ketoconazole, and zinc pyrithione. Aloe vera nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication that kills and stops the growth of fungi by destroying their cell membranes. Zinc pyrithione is also an antifungal medicine. It makes fungal cells absorb copper, which in turn disrupts protein utilization mechanisms in the cells. This is how it stops fungal growth.

FAQs
I have started using Keloc-AZ Lotion. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?
The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of the treatment. However, the signs such as redness and peeling may take longer to disappear. Do not stop applying this medicine before the duration advised by your doctor, even if you feel better.
Are there any measures that should be taken for a faster recovery?
Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry but avoid excessive rubbing. You may have the urge to scratch because of itchiness but avoid scratching as it will damage the skin surface and cause the infection to spread further. Do not share towels, bath robes, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
I can see some improvements in my skin condition. Can I stop using Keloc-AZ Lotion?
No, it is not advisable to stop using Keloc-AZ Lotion without consulting your doctor as it can lead to recurring infections. Therefore, use the lotion for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. If you experience any difficulty while using the product, please consult the doctor.
