Description
Overview of the medicine
Siodil-Ketodil Bathing Bar is a medicated soap containing antifungal (Ketoconazole) and antiseptic agents, designed to help treat and prevent various skin infections including fungal and bacterial conditions. It helps cleanse the skin, reduce itching, scaling, and irritation associated with such infections.
Uses & Indications
Dosage

Mechanism of Action
Ketoconazole inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased permeability and eventual cell death. The antiseptic agent provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria and other microorganisms on the skin surface, complementing the antifungal action.
