Ketovib Soap belongs to the class of antifungal agents. Soap is used to treat fungal infections of the skin. The lotion is used to treat dandruff. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Dandruff is a scalp condition characterized by dry, itchy, white flakes of skin on the scalp.
Ketovib Soap is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cetrimide (antiseptic) and Ketoconazole (antifungal). Cetrimide works by preventing the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Ketoconazole works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival. Together they help to treat fungal infections of the skin and also dandruff.
