Product introduction

Esavasone Lotion is a combination of two medicines used to treat dandruff and other scalp conditions caused by fungal infections. It works by targeting the fungus that causes dandruff, at the same time reduces inflammation, itching, and redness associated with the condition.

To get the best results, apply Esavasone Lotion exactly as directed by your doctor, typically 1-2 times a day. Ensure the scalp is clean and dry before application. Massage the lotion gently into the scalp and leave it to work. Avoid washing your hair immediately after applying to allow the medication to be fully absorbed. Use it regularly for the duration prescribed, even if symptoms improve.


Common side effects may include mild burning, stinging, or dryness at the application site. These are usually temporary and go away as your scalp adjusts to the treatment. If you experience severe irritation or allergic reactions like swelling or rash, stop using the lotion and consult your doctor. To reduce side effects, use the recommended amount and avoid overuse.


While using Esavasone Lotion, avoid contact with the eyes and mouth, as the ingredients can cause irritation in these areas. Do not use it on broken skin or open wounds. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication. Prolonged use of the medicine may thin the skin, so use it only as prescribed and avoid excessive or long-term use.

How to use Esavasone 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 Esavasone Lotion works

Ketoconazole and Clobetasone combination shampoo treats dandruff by addressing both the fungal cause and inflammation. Ketoconazole, an antifungal, inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes, leading to cell death, effectively targeting the yeast Malassezia, which is linked to dandruff. Clobetasone, a mild corticosteroid, reduces scalp inflammation, itching, and redness by suppressing inflammatory responses. Together, these agents provide a dual-action approach by eliminating the underlying fungal infection and soothing the irritated scalp, offering relief from dandruff symptoms.
