How it works
Ketax-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. Do not use it in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.

Frequently asked questions
How to use Ketax-B Lotion?
Please follow your doctor's instructions for using Ketax-B Lotion. Apply the medication thinly to the affected areas and ensure sufficient coverage. Generally, you should apply it two or three times a day to the affected areas of skin. Wash your hands after application unless you are using Ketax-B Lotion for treating skin infection on your hands.
Can I stop taking Ketax-B Lotion when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop taking Ketax-B Lotion and complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
What precautions need to be taken while using Ketax-B Lotion?
Ketax-B Lotion should not be used on the face. Do not use the medication for longer than advised periods of time. Do not apply a bandage or dressing to the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the preparation and increase the risk of side effects. This medicine should be used only by the patient and never given to other people even if their condition appears similar.
Will Ketax-B Lotion be more effective if taken more than prescribed?
No, Ketax-B Lotion will not be more effective if overused. Overusing the medication can result in too much medicine being absorbed into the body and may lead to thinning or weakening of the skin and other serious side effects. If you are experiencing increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
