Konazed Soap 100 gm

Konazed Soap 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. 

Konazed Soap 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.

Konazed Soap is for external use only. Your doctor will advise you on how often you need to use Konazed Soap 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.

Konazed Soap is a combination of two antifungal drugs, namely Ketoconazole and Zinc, that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on face, scalp, chest, upper back or ears). It also treats pain and inflammation associated with dandruff and helps in relieving scalp itching and redness. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Konazed Soap causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thus, it clears fungal infections and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
