Ketoral shampoo is a medicated shampoo used to treat scalp conditions including dandruff, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and fungal infections. It contains 2% ketoconazole, an antifungal agent, which helps to reduce the growth of fungi on the scalp and prevent the recurrence of these scalp conditions.
Ketoral shampoo is used to treat dandruff, which is an accumulation of dead skin cells on the scalp. The antifungal properties of ketoconazole help to reduce the growth of the fungi on the scalp, which is what causes dandruff. The shampoo also helps to reduce the formation of scaly, red patches on the scalp associated with psoriasis. Additionally, it is used to treat seborrheic dermatitis, which is a condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the scalp caused by an overproduction of oil on the scalp. Finally, ketoconazole helps to treat fungal infections on the scalp, such as ringworm, which is caused by a fungus.
When using Ketoral shampoo, it is important to use it as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. It should be applied to the scalp and left on for 3-5 minutes before rinsing. It can be used up to 2 times per week, though some individuals may need to use it more frequently. It is also important to follow up with a conditioner after use, as Ketoral shampoo can be drying on the scalp. If your scalp condition does not improve after two weeks of use, contact your doctor.
