Aloe Vera + Ketoconazole + Zinc Pyrithione

Uses

Aloe Vera, Ketoconazole, and Zinc Pyrithione are used in the treatment of fungal skin infections.

How it Works

How Aloe Vera, Ketoconazole, and Zinc Pyrithione Work Aloe Vera, Ketoconazole, and Zinc Pyrithione is a combination of three ingredients: aloe vera, ketoconazole, and zinc pyrithione. Aloe vera nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication that kills and inhibits the growth of fungi by destroying their cell membranes. Zinc pyrithione is also an antifungal agent; it causes fungal cells to absorb copper, which disrupts protein utilization mechanisms within the cells, thereby halting fungal growth.

Common side effects of Aloe Vera, Ketoconazole, and Zinc Pyrithione include application site reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, and redness.
