Nizoral Shampoo contains ketoconazole and is used to treat dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It helps relieve itching, flaking, and scaling of the scalp by targeting the fungus that causes these conditions.
Nizoral Shampoo contains ketoconazole, an antifungal medicine that works by stopping the growth of yeast on the scalp, which is a common cause of dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis.
Regular use helps reduce flaking, itching, redness, and irritation while preventing symptoms from returning. The shampoo is applied directly to the scalp, left on for a few minutes, and then rinsed off. Improvement is usually seen after the first few washes.
Nizoral Shampoo is intended for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes and discontinue use if significant irritation occurs.
Apply to wet hair and scalp, massage gently to form a lather, leave on for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
For dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis, use twice weekly for 2–4 weeks unless advised otherwise. Once symptoms improve, occasional use may help prevent recurrence.
Many people notice improvement after the first few washes, with reduced itching and flaking over the treatment course.
