A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Phytoral SP. 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.
Phytoral SP contains Ketoconazole (2% w/v) + Salicylic Acid (2% w/v).
Treatment of Dandruff
Phytoral SP Scalp Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Ketoconazole and Salicylic Acid which treat dandruff. Ketoconazole is an antifungal. It works by stopping the growth of dandruff-causing fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which helps break down the skin clumps on scalp and relieves itching and flaking associated with dandruff.
This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Shake it well and apply to the area evenly.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
If you miss a dose of Phytoral SP Scalp Lotion, 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.
Taking more Phytoral SP than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
Most side effects of Phytoral SP are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
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.

Phytoral SP Scalp Lotion must be applied to the affected area as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.

Stop using Phytoral SP Scalp Lotion and inform your doctor if you notice any irritation or any other skin infection.
