How it works
Kerizol B Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Ketoconazole. Beclometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Ketoconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
Quick Tips
This combination medicine helps treat skin infections caused by many different types of fungi. It can take a few weeks for the infection to clear and a few months before the skin returns to its normal color. It is not taken orally so it does not cause many side effects. Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor as this may increase the risk of side effects. It is for use on skin only. Do not use it in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.

Frequently asked questions
How should I use Kerizol B Lotion?
To use Kerizol B Lotion effectively, apply a thin layer to the affected skin area, using sufficient quantity to cover the area. Typically, this medication is applied two or three times a day. After using Kerizol B Lotion, ensure that you wash your hands unless it's being used to treat a skin infection on your hands.
Can I stop taking Kerizol B Lotion once my symptoms improve?

What precautions should I take when using Kerizol B Lotion?
When using Kerizol B Lotion, it is essential to note that this medication should not be applied on the face.
