Nizoral dandruff shampoo is an antifungal shampoo that contains an active ingredient called Ketoconazole. It can help treat a dry, red itchy scalp caused by dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis affecting the scalp.

Nizoral Dandruff Shampoo is used as a treatment for the type of dandruff that is caused by a fungus. Nizoral dandruff shampoo contains an active ingredient called Ketoconazole, which belongs to a class of medication known as antifungals.

Antifungals like Ketoconazole cause holes to appear in the cell membranes of fungi and yeast, which causes the essential constituents of their cells to leak out, thereby killing them. It is effective in killing Pityrosporum yeast that causes a red, dry, flaky and itchy scalp.

Nizoral dandruff shampoo contains an active ingredient called Ketoconazole which actively combats the fungus that causes dandruff, and it shows its effectiveness from the very first wash.

This makes sure you get relief from itching and flaking.

Nizoral dandruff shampoo is safe for use by pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

Nizoral dandruff shampoo is extremely easy to use with this step by step procedure:

Step 1: Use a small amount (around 6ml) of the shampoo and massage it on your wet scalp.
Step 2: Work the shampoo into a lather and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3: Rinse the shampoo off thoroughly, and make sure it doesn't get into your eyes.

The recommended dosage for this shampoo is using it twice a week for the first two to four weeks, depending on the severity of your scalp infection. Then you should use Nizoral once every week or fortnight to prevent dandruff.

If you need to wash your hair more often than this, use a regular shampoo between treatments. If your dandruff problem hasn't cleared up after four weeks of treatment, you should consult your doctor.
