About Kezolin Gel
Kezolin Gel belongs to a class of dermatological medication called 'antifungal', primarily used to prevent fungal infections of the skin like seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears). Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of dandruff that causes an itchy rash with dry, flaky scales on the skin that contains oil glands, such as the scalp, face, back, and upper chest.
Kezolin Gel works by causing holes in the fungal cell membrane, which is essential for their survival, as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thereby, it kills the fungi, thereby slowing the growth of dandruff on the scalp.
Use Kezolin Gel as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to use Kezolin Gel based on your medical condition. Some people may experience itching, redness, irritation or a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Avoid contact of Kezolin Gel with nose, ears, mouth or eyes. If Kezolin Gel accidentally comes into contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly.
