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.

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 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.
