Dermatophytosis: clears fungal infection and reduces itching, scaling and redness. Seborrheic dermatitis: diminishes scaling, erythema and oiliness. Pityriasis versicolor: eradicates Malassezia overgrowth and restores normal skin colour.

Topical ketoconazole may cause local skin reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Itching or mild burning sensation at the application site. - Redness or erythema. - Dryness or flaking of the skin. - Stinging or tingling. - Mild irritation or contact dermatitis. - Peeling of the treated area.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (e.g., swelling, hives, difficulty breathing). - Extensive skin rash or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Significant swelling or blistering of the skin. - Systemic absorption leading to liver enzyme abnormalities. - Photosensitivity causing exaggerated sunburn. - Persistent or worsening irritation requiring medical attention.

Before using Ketoconazole Zydus, consider the following safety measures.

Avoid application on broken skin: may increase irritation. Do not use with other topical antifungals without medical advice. Limit exposure to sunlight: risk of photosensitivity.

Ketoconazole may interact with other topical or systemic agents.
