Description
Ketocip 2% shampoo is an antifungal medicated shampoo that helps treat and prevent dandruff, itching, and flaking of the scalp. It contains ketoconazole, which effectively targets the fungus responsible for scalp infections and dandruff. By controlling fungal growth, Ketocip 2% shampoo aids in restoring scalp health and keeps your hair clean and fresh.
This shampoo works by binding to the fungal cell membrane and disrupting its structure, which prevents the fungus from multiplying. As the fungal infection diminishes, symptoms like itching, scaling, and flaking improve. With regular use as directed, Ketocip 2% shampoo not only treats dandruff but also prevents its recurrence.
Ketocip shampoo should always be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Typically, it is applied to the scalp, left for a few minutes, and then rinsed off thoroughly. It is important to adhere to the recommended frequency of use, as overuse may cause irritation, while underuse may reduce its effectiveness.
While using Ketocip 2% shampoo, you may experience mild side effects such as scalp dryness, itching, or irritation, but these usually diminish with continued use. If you notice severe irritation, hair loss, or any allergic reaction, you should contact your doctor immediately. Avoid getting the shampoo in your eyes, nose, or mouth.
For best results, continue using Ketocip 2% shampoo for the full course advised by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve earlier. Do not use hair products containing harsh chemicals or engage in excessive heat styling while treating dandruff. Maintaining a healthy scalp routine with Ketocip 2% shampoo can help you stay free from dandruff and keep your hair clean and healthy.
