Ketotop Bottle Of 100ml Lotion

Ketotop Lotion is formulated for the topical treatment of dandruff and associated flaky scalp conditions. Its active ingredients are ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione. Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that works by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes.

This disruption leads to increased permeability of the cell membrane, causing leakage of essential intracellular components and ultimately inhibiting fungal growth. Zinc pyrithione also possesses antifungal and antibacterial properties, contributing to the reduction of microorganisms on the scalp that are linked to dandruff. The combination of these two agents targets the underlying fungal causes of dandruff, such as Malassezia species, and helps to alleviate symptoms like itching and flaking.

This product is intended for external use on the scalp and should be applied according to medical professional guidance.

Missed a Dose

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?
