Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Scalpe Plus Ad Lotion. 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.

Composition of Scalpe Plus Ad Lotion

Scalpe Plus Ad Lotion contains Zinc Pyrithione (1%w/v) + Ketoconazole (2%w/v). It belongs to the Imidazole antifungal + pyrithione antifungal/antibacterial class of medicines.

Uses of Scalpe Plus Ad Lotion

  • Treatment and control of dandruff (pityriasis capitis) and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp; helps relieve itching
  • flaking and scalp irritation associated with fungal overgrowth.

Key benefits

  • Reduces dandruff and flaking
  • Relieves scalp itching and irritation
  • Controls seborrheic dermatitis
  • Helps prevent recurrence with maintenance use

How Scalpe Plus Ad Lotion works

Ketoconazole is an antifungal that inhibits ergosterol synthesis, weakening the fungal cell membrane and reducing Malassezia growth on the scalp. Zinc pyrithione has antifungal and antibacterial activity and helps reduce scaling and inflammation, improving dandruff control.

How to take Scalpe Plus Ad Lotion

For external use only. Shake well before use. Apply to wet scalp/hair, massage gently to form lather, leave for about 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use 2–3 times weekly initially or as directed by a doctor; for maintenance, use once weekly 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

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 fall in blood pressure and a racing heart when far too much is applied to the skin. It is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Scalpe Plus Ad Lotion

Most side effects of Scalpe Plus Ad are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

  • Application site irritation
  • burning or stinging
  • itching
  • dryness
  • redness
  • hair texture change
  • hair fall (temporary)
  • scalp oiliness or dryness

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

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse with plenty of water. Do not use on broken/infected skin unless advised by a doctor.

In children, use only on medical advice.

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for use on inflamed, broken or sunburnt scalp. For external use only. Not for use in the eyes.

Interactions with other medicines

No significant systemic drug interactions expected with topical use. If using other medicated scalp products (e.g., topical corticosteroids, keratolytics like salicylic acid), use as directed to avoid irritation; avoid applying multiple irritant products together.

How to store Scalpe Plus Ad Lotion

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from direct light and excessive heat. Keep cap tightly closed and keep out of reach of children.

Expert advice for Scalpe Plus Ad Lotion

Be consistent — irregular use gives no result. Have persistent or patchy hair loss assessed; thyroid disease, iron deficiency and other causes are treatable. 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.
