Medical Description

Ketokem Shampoo is a medicated shampoo that contains ketoconazole, an antifungal medicine. It is commonly used to treat and prevent dandruff, scalp itching, and flaking. By controlling fungal growth on the scalp, this shampoo helps reduce symptoms such as white flakes, scalp irritation, and redness, thereby making your hair and scalp healthier.

The active ingredient, ketoconazole, works by binding to the fungal cell membrane and interfering with its structure. This action stops the fungus from multiplying and eventually clears the infection. With regular use, Ketokem Shampoo not only reduces dandruff but also helps prevent its recurrence, allowing you to maintain a clean and comfortable scalp.

Your doctor may recommend using Ketokem Shampoo once or twice a week, depending on your condition. It should be applied to the wet scalp and hair, massaged gently to form a lather, and left for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Following the correct usage instructions is important for the best results.

Some people may experience mild side effects, such as scalp dryness, itching, or changes in hair texture, after using Ketokem Shampoo. These are usually temporary and resolve on their own. However, if you notice severe irritation, redness, or hair loss, discontinue use of the shampoo and consult your doctor immediately.

Ketokem Shampoo should be used only as prescribed and not as a regular cosmetic shampoo. For long-term control of dandruff, it is best to maintain good scalp hygiene and avoid sharing personal haircare items. Always complete the treatment as advised by your doctor to prevent dandruff from returning.
