About Biokez-Ad Lotion

Biokez-Ad Lotion is used to treat dandruff and its associated symptoms, such as flaking, scaling, and itching. Dandruff is a scalp condition characterized by dry, itchy, white flakes of skin on the scalp.

Biokez-Ad Lotion is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cetrimide (antiseptic) and Ketoconazole (antifungal). Cetrimide works by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, on the scalp. Ketoconazole works by damaging fungal cell membranes, which are essential for their survival. Together, they help to treat dandruff.

Biokez-Ad Lotion is for external use only. Use Biokez-Ad Lotion as advised by your doctor. Some people may experience dryness or roughness of the scalp, and irritation, redness, or a burning sensation at the application site. Most of the side effects of Biokez-Ad Lotion do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Biokez-Ad Lotion or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or nursing, it is advised that you consult a doctor before using Biokez-Ad Lotion. Avoid scratching the scalp as it may worsen dandruff. Cover your head with a scarf or hat while going out.
