A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as K Shine Lotion. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
K Shine Lotion contains Ketoconazole (2% w/v). It belongs to the Antifungal class of medicines.
K Shine Lotion is an antifungal medication. It kills and stops the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane, thereby treating your skin infection.
Apply a generous amount of lotion to clean, dry skin. Massage gently until fully absorbed. Use daily for best results.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
If you miss a dose of K Shine Lotion, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Most side effects of K Shine are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Keep applying for the full period your doctor stated, usually two to four weeks, and for a week or two after the rash has cleared. Stopping when it looks better is why ringworm keeps coming back. Apply a little beyond the visible edge of the patch — the fungus extends further than the redness. Do not use a combination cream containing a steroid on a fungal infection unless a doctor has specifically prescribed it. The steroid calms the redness while the fungus spreads underneath. See a doctor if the rash covers a large area, involves the scalp or nails, or has not improved in two weeks — these usually need tablets as well.
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. For external use only. Not for use in the eyes.
No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin.
Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not stop early; continue using it for the full treatment duration, even if the infection improves. Stopping too soon can lead to the infection returning. Wash your hands after applying K Shine Lotion (unless you are treating your hands) to avoid spreading the infection. Avoid tight clothing and wear loose, breathable fabrics to keep the area dry and prevent irritation. Do not share towels, clothes, or personal items, as fungal infections can spread easily. Apply it about 1 inch beyond the visible edge of the infection. This helps treat areas of infection that may not be visible on the skin. Wait 20–30 minutes after application before using moisturizers or sunscreen on the same area. Do not use it on open wounds, deep cuts, or severely oozing skin unless advised by your doctor.
