Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Kenozole Shampoo. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.
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.

Uses of Kenozole Shampoo

Key benefits
- Controls dandruff and flaking

How Kenozole Shampoo works
Ketoconazole is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits fungal ergosterol synthesis by blocking 14-alpha demethylase. This damages the fungal cell membrane, reducing Malassezia growth and relieving flaking and itching.
How to take Kenozole Shampoo
For external use only. Wet hair/scalp, apply sufficient shampoo to affected area, lather and leave on for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Typically use 2 times a week for 2–4 weeks for dandruff/seborrhoeic dermatitis, then once weekly or as advised for maintenance. 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 Kenozole 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.
