Can there be any adverse side effects if minute amount of KZ lotion is ingested?

Question

Hello doctor,

Recently, I applied KZ Lotion on my scalp. After washing my hands with soap, I ate food as I was hungry. I did not notice any lotion present on my hand but I suspect I had not washed my hands properly. I am currently on Warfarin. Could that minute amount of KZ lotion have adverse effects on my body?

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This shampoo has antifungal agents. They are as such, not harmful if taken in very small amounts. Now, if by mistake you have consumed a small amount of it, I do not find any reason to worry, as slight systemic absorption of any lotion or cream applied occurs normally also through the skin.

So do not worry.

Regards.
