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.

Uses of Scalpe Plus Ad Lotion
- Treatment and control of dandruff (pityriasis capitis) and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp; helps relieve itching

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.

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.
