Product introduction

Flucos Lotion is a combination medicine used in the treatment of dandruff. It works by killing the microorganisms that cause infection.

Flucos Lotion may be used in the dose and duration suggested by the doctor. Applying it at the same time every day will help you remember to use it. The affected area should be clean and dry before application of the medicine. You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. Do not stop using it until you have finished the complete course, even when you feel better.

This medicine is generally safe to use, but some people might experience application site reactions like burning, irritation, itching, and redness. These are usually mild but let your doctor know if they bother you or last more than a few days. Avoid direct contact with eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

You must inform your doctor if there’s no improvement even after four weeks of treatment. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before using it.

How to use Flucos 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 Flucos Lotion works

Flucos Lotion is a combination of two antifungal medicines: Fluconazole and Zinc pyrithione which treat dandruff. Fluconazole kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane. Zinc pyrithione works by penetrating the cell membrane of the fungi to interfere with their energy metabolism and oxygen uptake. This kills the fungi and clears up the infection.
