Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as 8X Shampoo. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

How 8X Shampoo works
Anti-dandruff shampoos typically work by reducing the growth of dandruff-causing fungi (Malassezia) and by decreasing scalp scaling. Regular use helps loosen flakes and calm scalp irritation.
How to take 8X Shampoo
Wet hair and scalp, apply adequate amount, massage into scalp and leave for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use 2–3 times a week or as advised; avoid contact with eyes and broken skin.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of 8X Shampoo, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. It can cause a fall in blood pressure and a racing heart when far too much is applied to the skin. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
