Ketoprime

Ketoprime Lotion is an antifungal medicine that treats various skin infections including athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and yeast infections. It works by stopping fungal growth and helps relieve symptoms like itching, redness, and flaking skin.

While some improvement in symptoms like itching and redness may be noticeable within a few days, complete healing typically takes between 2 to 6 weeks of consistent use. It is crucial to continue treatment for the full prescribed duration even after symptoms disappear to prevent the infection from returning.

You should generally avoid applying Ketoprime Lotion to open wounds or severely damaged skin unless specifically instructed by your doctor, as it may cause additional irritation. For minor cuts or abrasions near the affected area, apply carefully around them.

Some users report mild skin irritation, burning sensations, itching, or dryness where the medication is applied. These effects are usually temporary. However, if you develop severe reactions like significant swelling, intense redness, or blistering, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare provider.

While topical ketoconazole is generally considered low-risk, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication to weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.

You may use makeup, moisturizers, or sunscreen after applying Ketoprime Lotion, but wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow the medication to be fully absorbed into the skin first.

Maintain good skin hygiene by keeping affected areas clean and dry. Avoid sharing personal items like towels or clothing. For foot infections, consider using antifungal powder in shoes and socks. Wearing breathable fabrics like cotton can also help prevent reinfection.

While Ketoprime Lotion can be used in pediatric patients, it should only be administered under medical supervision. The appropriate dosage and treatment duration may vary depending on the child's age and the severity of the infection.

Take care to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Unless directed by your doctor, don't cover treated areas with airtight bandages, as this may increase absorption and side effects. Be mindful that it may increase sun sensitivity in some people, so take appropriate sun protection measures.

No, you should complete the full course of treatment exactly as prescribed. Stopping early, even if symptoms disappear, may allow surviving fungi to regrow and cause the infection to return.
