How Keratus Caffeine Shampoo works

Caffeine is added to a painkiller to help it start working sooner and work a little better. It is a mild stimulant and does not relieve pain by itself.

How to take Keratus Caffeine Shampoo

Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer and rub it in gently. Wash your hands before and after use, unless your hands are the area being treated. This is for use on the skin only — do not swallow it. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

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

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause a racing heart, tremor, vomiting and agitation. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Keratus Caffeine Shampoo

Most side effects of Keratus Caffeine Shampoo are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

  • Restlessness
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Fast or thumping heartbeat
  • Stomach upset
  • Tremor

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions

Count your tea, coffee and cola for the day — the caffeine in this medicine adds to them. Taken late in the day it can keep you awake. Painkillers with caffeine taken most days can themselves cause a daily headache. If you are reaching for them more than twice a week, see a doctor rather than taking more.

Do not take Keratus Caffeine Shampoo if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with an uncontrolled heart rhythm problem, unless a doctor has said otherwise.

Interactions with other medicines

Tell your doctor if you take medicines for asthma, a heart rhythm problem, or an antibiotic of the ciprofloxacin family — caffeine lasts longer alongside some of them.

How to store Keratus Caffeine Shampoo

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.

Expert advice for Keratus Caffeine Shampoo

Avoid taking it in the evening if it disturbs your sleep. Cutting down suddenly after taking it daily can itself cause a headache for a day or two.
