How it works
Konaz CT Lotion is composed of Ketoconazole and Coal tar. It works by stopping the formation of a chemical known as Ergosterol responsible for forming the fungal cell membrane. Thus, it treats the infection and stops further growth. Coal tar normalizes the process of cell growth in your skin. It softens the outer layer of the skin as well as any scales on the skin. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria. All these effects help in relieving the symptoms of skin disorders.
