Frequently asked questions about Ketoconazole
Q. What is Ketotar Lotion used for?
Ketotar Lotion is used to treat skin infections which may appear on the feet (Athlete’s foot), in the groin area (jock itch), or between skin folds (sweat rash infected with a yeast infection “thrush”). It is also used for candida infections of skin and nails. It rapidly relieves the itching caused due to these fungal infections.
Q. Is Ketotar Lotion a steroid cream?
No, Ketotar Lotion is not a steroid cream. It is an anti-fungal medicine which belongs to the imidazole class of medicines. It works by killing the fungi or by preventing the growth of fungi that cause infection.
Q. What are the side effects of Ketotar Lotion?
The common side effects are application site burning, redness, and itching. The application site may also develop some uncommon side effects such as discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions, urticaria or hives, rash, skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Q. Can I use a steroid cream along with Ketotar Lotion?
It is recommended that you use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Ketotar Lotion in the evening. You can then stop using the steroid cream gradually over 2-3 weeks. But, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain at least a gap of 2 weeks before you apply Ketotar Lotion to prevent skin sensitization.
Q. How should Ketotar Lotion be applied?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Ketotar Lotion. This will prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the body or other people.
Q. For how long do I need to use Ketotar Lotion?
You should use Ketotar Lotion for as long as advised by your doctor. Generally, it is to be used for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash and 2-6 weeks for Athlete’s foot. Do not stop using it even if your symptoms have disappeared because the infection may reappear if not properly treated.
Q. What should I do if I forget to use Ketotar Lotion?
If you forget to use Ketotar Lotion, do not worry and continue using Ketotar Lotion as soon as you remember. However, if you are not sure and have any other doubts, please consult your doctor.
