Composition of Ketag Shampoo

Ketag Shampoo contains Ketoconazole (2%w/v) + Zinc (1%w/v). It belongs to the Antifungal and Antioxidant / trace element supplement class of medicines.

Uses of Ketag Shampoo

Ketag Shampoo is used in the treatment of dandruff.

Key benefits

  • Acts directly on the infected skin
  • Little absorption into the body
  • Corrects dietary shortfalls
  • Supports normal immune function

How Ketag Shampoo works

This medicine combines 2 active ingredients: Ketoconazole and Zinc. Ketoconazole kills the fungus on the skin by breaking down the membrane that holds its cells together. Zinc supplies a nutrient that helps protect body cells from everyday oxidative wear and supports normal immune function.

How to take Ketag 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 is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. It can cause vomiting, stomach pain and, with some minerals, damage over the longer term. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Ketag Shampoo

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

  • Burning or stinging
  • Redness
  • Itching
  • Dryness
  • Peeling
  • Nausea
  • Stomach upset
  • Metallic taste
  • Loose motions

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

Keep applying for the full period your doctor stated, usually two to four weeks, and for a week or two after the rash has cleared. Stopping when it looks better is why ringworm keeps coming back. Apply a little beyond the visible edge of the patch — the fungus extends further than the redness. Do not use a combination cream containing a steroid on a fungal infection unless a doctor has specifically prescribed it. The steroid calms the redness while the fungus spreads underneath. See a doctor if the rash covers a large area, involves the scalp or nails, or has not improved in two weeks — these usually need tablets as well. A supplement supports a normal diet; it does not prevent or treat infection. Zinc on an empty stomach commonly causes nausea — take it with food. Very high doses of vitamin A over a long period can be harmful, particularly in pregnancy. Do not take several products containing the same nutrient at once; the totals add up.

Do not take Ketag Shampoo if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. For external use only. Not for use in the eyes.

Interactions with other medicines

No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin. Zinc and other minerals reduce the absorption of some antibiotics — separate them by a few hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner, as high-dose vitamin E can add to its effect.

How to store Ketag 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 Ketag Shampoo

Keep the area clean and completely dry — fungus thrives in moisture and sweat. Wear loose cotton clothing, change it daily, and wash clothes and towels in hot water. Do not share towels, and treat affected family members at the same time. Take it with food to reduce nausea. A varied diet remains the best source of these nutrients.
