While using Keraglo-AD Lotion, you may experience the following common side effects:

Burning sensation
Skin irritation
Itching or redness
Dry skin
Peeling skin
Stinging or tingling feeling: This is a sharp, prickly sensation on the skin.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Keraglo-AD Lotion. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Burning sensation: Try applying Keraglo-AD Lotion at night if it causes a burning sensation during the day.
Skin irritation: Applying this lotion after a bath could potentially lessen its irritating effect on your skin.

Keraglo-AD Lotion contains Ketoconazole (2%) as it's active ingredient which affects your body in a specific manner:

Inhibits Ergosterol Synthesis: Ketoconazole works by blocking the formation of ergosterol. This substance forms an integral part of fungal cell membranes.
Increases Cell Membrane Permeability: By depleting ergosterol levels and disrupting sterol biosynthesis, Ketoconazole makes the fungal cell membrane more permeable. This causes leakage of cellular contents and ultimately leads to the death of the fungal cell.

By halting the growth and spread of fungal infections, Ketoconazole in Keraglo-AD Lotion aids in managing various skin conditions caused by fungi.

Pregnancy

Keraglo-AD Lotion is not typically recommended for use during pregnancy. It is best to discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Information regarding the use of Keraglo-AD Lotion during breastfeeding is limited. Therefore, it’s important to consult your doctor before using this medicine while breastfeeding.

Alcohol

The use of alcohol does not directly impact the effectiveness or side effects of Keraglo-AD Lotion as it's a topical formulation. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is always advantageous when managing any health condition.

Liver

As Keraglo-AD Lotion is applied topically, it's unlikely to affect liver function. Nevertheless, if you have any liver health concerns, consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Kidney

Similarly, kidney health is generally not impacted by the use of Keraglo-AD Lotion as its absorption into the bloodstream is minimal. But if you have kidney health issues, do seek advice from your doctor.
