Nizoral Ketoconazole 2% Shampoo is an antifungal treatment shampoo designed to help treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp by targeting one of the main causes associated with them, which is the overgrowth of Malassezia yeast. It contains Ketoconazole at a concentration of 2% (20 mg/g), which works to fight dandruff-causing fungi and reduce flaking, itching, and redness, helping the scalp regain a cleaner, more comfortable, and balanced appearance.

Nizoral is distinguished by not only removing visible flakes during washing, but also helping control the fungal factor associated with recurring dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Therefore, it is used as a treatment program for a specific period, then can be used periodically to help prevent dandruff from returning and maintain a clearer scalp. It is suitable for different hair types when used correctly and when the lather is left on the scalp for a sufficient time before rinsing.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends focusing on applying the shampoo to the scalp, not only the hair lengths, because the active ingredient needs to come into contact with the area affected by dandruff.
• Do not rinse the product immediately after forming the lather; leave it for 3 to 5 minutes so ketoconazole gets the proper contact time.
• Use it twice weekly during the treatment phase instead of using it daily unless your doctor recommends otherwise; increasing the number of washes does not mean faster results.
• On other days, a gentle daily shampoo suitable for your hair and scalp type can be used if you need to wash your hair frequently.
• If the hair ends are dry, apply conditioner or mask to the mid-lengths and ends after rinsing Nizoral, while avoiding applying heavy formulas directly to the scalp affected by dandruff.
• Use lukewarm water instead of very hot water, because high heat may increase itching, dryness, and irritation.
• Do not scratch the scalp with nails while washing; use fingertips with gentle motions to help reduce scratching and redness.
• After dandruff improves, it is usually not necessary to continue the same treatment frequency; you can switch to preventive use once every week or two to help control recurrence.
• If you are using a topical treatment containing corticosteroids for the scalp for a long time, do not stop it suddenly on your own when starting Nizoral; it is preferable to consult a doctor about reducing it gradually.
• If dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis does not improve after 4 weeks of correct use, or if the condition worsens, it is preferable to consult a doctor or pharmacist to evaluate the cause.
• If the flakes are very severe or accompanied by oozing, wounds, pain, or unusual hair loss, the scalp may need medical evaluation instead of relying on shampoo alone.
