Product introduction

Keloc-AZ Lotion is a combination medicine that treats fungal skin infections. It kills the fungi that cause the infection and relieves itching and irritation. It also contains aloe vera that moisturizes the skin and makes it healthy.

Keloc-AZ Lotion is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefits from it. Do not use more than needed, as it will not clear the infection faster and may only increase the side effects. If it accidentally gets into the eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with water thoroughly.

This medicine is usually safe; however, it may cause burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and self-limiting. Serious side effects are rare.

It is not likely that other medicines that are taken by mouth or injection will affect the way Keloc-AZ Lotion works. But talk to the doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine for the infection. This medicine is not recommended for pregnant women. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using this medicine.

Benefits of Keloc-AZ Lotion

In Treatment of Fungal skin infections

Keloc-AZ Lotion is a combination medicine that helps in killing and stopping the growth of fungi, thereby clearing the infection and relieving the symptoms. It contains aloe vera that rejuvenates the damaged skin, moisturizes it, and enhances the healing process. Use this medicine for as long as it is prescribed, even if your symptoms disappear, as they may come back. Depending on the type of infection you are treating, the treatment duration may be several weeks. Even after the infection is completely cured, you may have to apply the cream occasionally to prevent the symptoms from returning.

How to use Keloc-AZ Lotion

This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Shake it well and apply to the area evenly.

How Keloc-AZ Lotion works

Keloc-AZ Lotion is a combination of three medicines, aloe vera, ketoconazole, and zinc pyrithione. Aloe vera nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication that kills and stops the growth of fungi by destroying their cell membranes. Zinc pyrithione is also an antifungal medicine. It makes fungal cells absorb copper, which in turn disrupts protein utilization mechanisms in the cells. This is how it stops fungal growth.
