Ketz Lotion 15 ml Substitute

Ketz Lotion 15 ml belongs to a class of drugs called antifungals indicated to treat various systemic fungal infections such as blastomycosis (infection caused by Blastomyces fungus), chromomycosis (chronic infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue), Coccidioidomycosis (infection caused by Coccidioides fungus), paracoccidioidomycosis (infection caused by Paracoccidioides fungus) and histoplasmosis (lung infection caused by Histoplasma fungus).

Ketz Lotion 15 ml works by destroying fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, kills fungi and treats the fungal infection.

Ketz Lotion 15 ml is not recommended to treat fungal meningitis (fungal infection spreads to the brain and spinal cord) as it poorly penetrates into the cerebrospinal fluid. Therefore, inform your doctor if you have fungal meningitis so that appropriate medication may be prescribed.

You are recommended to avoid foods containing chocolate and caffeine such as cocoa beans, tea, coffee, cola and energy drinks while taking Ketz Lotion 15 ml as it may increase the adverse effects of caffeine such as drowsiness, nervousness or nausea.

You are not recommended to take Ketz Lotion 15 ml with simvastatin (lipid-lowering drug) as co-administration of these medicines may cause muscle problems. Therefore, please consult a doctor before taking Ketz Lotion 15 ml with other medicines.
