About Keavz Plus Lotion

Keavz Plus Lotion belongs to a class of dermatological medication called 'antifungals' primarily used to prevent scalp fungal infections like seborrheic dermatitis with dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis is a dandruff type that causes an itchy rash with dry, flaky scales on the skin that contains oil glands such as the scalp, face, back and upper chest. 

Keavz Plus Lotion contains Ketoconazole and Zinc, used to treat dermatitis. It works by destroying or rupturing the outer fungal cell membranes (essential for survival ) and kills fungi. Hence, slowing the growth of dandruff on the scalp.

Keavz Plus Lotion is for external use only. Your doctor will advise you on how often you need to use Keavz Plus Lotion based on your medical condition. Some people may experience itching, redness, irritation or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your physician.

If you are known to be allergic to Keavz Plus Lotion or any other medicines, please tell your physician. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a physician before using Keavz Plus Lotion.
