Ketol-B Cream is applied topically.

Ketol-B Cream contains two active ingredients that work together to manage fungal skin infections:

• Ketoconazole (2%): This component is an antifungal agent. It works against a variety of fungi that can cause infection in humans. Ketoconazole disrupts fungi's cell membranes by inhibiting the production of a substance called ergosterol, which is a major component of fungal cell membranes. As a result, the contents inside the cell leak out, causing the fungal cells to die and clearing up the infection.

• Beclomethasone Dipropionate (0.025%): This component is an anti-inflammatory agent. It suppresses inflammatory reactions associated with fungal skin infections by inhibiting the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling, thereby reducing discomfort and itching.

• Store Ketol-B Cream at normal room temperature, away from excessive heat and moisture.

• Keep it in a place where the temperature stays below 30°C.

• Avoid exposing the cream to direct sunlight.

• Always keep the tube tightly closed when not in use.

• Ensure that children cannot reach it.

• For optimal effectiveness, use the cream before its expiry date.

• If you are managing fungal skin infections with Ketol-B Cream, maintain good personal hygiene. Regular washing of your skin and clothes can help prevent spreading or re-infection.

• Ensure your diet is rich in probiotics, such as yoghurt, to support a healthy balance of bacteria and fungi on your skin. Consult your doctor for more personalised advice.
