About Zema Lotion
What is Zema Lotion?
Zema Lotion is a topical antifungal in lotion form containing Econazole Nitrate 1%, an Azole antifungal that inhibits the enzyme 14α-demethylase in ergosterol synthesis — a vital component of fungal cell membranes. This disrupts membrane integrity, halting fungal growth and causing cell death.
Zema Lotion is effective against multiple fungal species including Dermatophytes (ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot), Candida, and Pityrosporum ovale (cause of tinea versicolor). Its light lotion formulation is particularly suited for hairy or wide-area applications where cream is harder to apply.
Pityriasis versicolor (tinea versicolor) — white or brown patches on trunk from Pityrosporum ovale
Cutaneous candidiasis — Candida infection on skin folds
Zema Lotion is especially suited for hairy areas such as the scalp, chest and back, as the lotion formulation penetrates hair follicles more effectively than cream.
How to apply Zema Lotion / Dosage
How to apply Zema Lotion:
Clean the affected area with soap and water
Dry thoroughly before applying — moisture promotes fungal growth
Squeeze Zema Lotion onto a finger or cotton and apply a thin layer over the affected area
Cover the lesion and extend 1-2 cm beyond the border
Apply 1-2 times daily (morning and evening) or as directed by a pharmacist
Important: continue applying even after symptoms improve to prevent recurrence
Side effects of Zema Lotion
Zema Lotion is generally well tolerated. Possible side effects include:
Common: Mild burning, stinging or irritation at the application site, especially initially
Occasional: Redness, itching or dry peeling skin at the application area
Rare: Allergic reactions such as urticaria, swelling or difficulty breathing
If you experience severe irritation, allergic reaction, or worsening symptoms after 2 weeks of use, stop and consult a pharmacist or doctor immediately.
Contraindications / Precautions
Do not use if you have a known allergy to Econazole or other Azole antifungals
Avoid contact with eyes, mouth or mucous membranes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water
Do not apply to open wounds or severely inflamed skin
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: consult a pharmacist or doctor before use
Children under 2 years: not recommended without medical supervision
For external use only — do not ingest
Zema Lotion vs Other Topical Antifungals
Topical antifungal options in our store differ in formulation, active ingredient and indication:
Zema Cream (Econazole Nitrate 1%) — Same active ingredient in cream form; ideal for small, localized lesions on smooth skin without hair
Simple guide: Choose Zema Lotion for wide areas or hairy zones like scalp, chest and trunk | Choose Zema Cream for small lesions on smooth skin | Choose Canesten or Nizoral to switch active ingredient or when infection persists
How fast does Zema Lotion work?
After applying Zema Lotion, expected timeline:
Days 2-4: Itching and burning begin to subside
Week 1-2: Lesions start to fade, skin begins to recover
Zema Lotion treats multiple fungal skin infections including ringworm (Tinea corporis), jock itch (Tinea cruris), athlete's foot (Tinea pedis), scalp ringworm (Tinea capitis), tinea versicolor (Pityriasis versicolor), and cutaneous candidiasis. Its active ingredient Econazole Nitrate 1% effectively inhibits both Dermatophytes and Candida species.
The key difference is formulation: Zema Lotion is a lightweight liquid formula ideal for wide areas or hairy zones such as the scalp, chest, back and trunk, as it penetrates hair follicles more effectively. Zema Cream is a cream formula better suited for small, localized lesions on smooth skin. Both contain the same active ingredient Econazole Nitrate 1%.
Yes. Zema Lotion is particularly well-suited for the scalp because its lightweight formula penetrates hair follicles and reaches the scalp surface more effectively than cream. It treats scalp ringworm (Tinea capitis). Apply a thin layer to the affected scalp area 1-2 times daily for 2-4 weeks. If symptoms do not improve within 2 weeks, consult a pharmacist.
Itching and burning typically begin to subside within the first 2-4 days. Lesions start to fade by weeks 1-2, and ringworm or jock itch usually clears completely by weeks 2-4. Continue applying for the full 2-4 week course even if symptoms improve early, to fully eliminate the fungus and prevent recurrence.
Yes. Zema Lotion effectively treats tinea versicolor because Econazole Nitrate is active against Pityrosporum ovale, the cause of this condition. Apply thinly to the discolored patches once or twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Note that skin discoloration may take several weeks to months to fully normalize even after the fungus is eliminated.
Mild burning or irritation during the first few days is normal, especially on already-inflamed skin, and usually resolves within 2-3 days. If burning is severe, hives develop, or symptoms worsen after 1 week of use, stop applying and consult a pharmacist promptly.
Children over 2 years old may use Zema Lotion under pharmacist or medical guidance. For children under 2 years, use only under direct medical supervision. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a pharmacist before use, as safety data in these groups is limited.
Yes. Zema Lotion effectively treats jock itch (Tinea cruris). Apply a thin layer to the affected groin and inner thigh area 1-2 times daily after washing and thoroughly drying the skin. Continue for 2-4 weeks. Wearing breathable underwear during treatment is recommended to reduce moisture and support recovery.
