Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Scalpe + Shampoo. 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 + Shampoo

Scalpe + Shampoo contains Ketoconazole 2% w/v (medicated shampoo). It belongs to the Imidazole antifungal (topical) class of medicines.

Uses of Scalpe + Shampoo

  • Dandruff (pityriasis capitis)
  • seborrhoeic dermatitis of scalp
  • fungal-associated scalp scaling and itching

Key benefits

  • Reduces dandruff and flaking
  • Relieves scalp itching
  • Helps control seborrhoeic dermatitis
  • Decreases fungal load on scalp

How Scalpe + Shampoo works

Ketoconazole is an antifungal that inhibits fungal cell membrane (ergosterol) synthesis, reducing the growth of Malassezia species linked with dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis. This helps decrease flaking, scaling, redness and itching of the scalp.

How to take Scalpe + Shampoo

For external use only. Wet hair and scalp, apply sufficient shampoo and massage into scalp to form lather; leave on for about 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Typically use 2 times a week for 2–4 weeks, then once weekly or as advised by a doctor for maintenance. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse with water.

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. 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 + Shampoo

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

  • Mild burning or stinging
  • itching
  • scalp irritation
  • dryness or oiliness of hair/scalp
  • redness
  • hair texture changes
  • hair fall (rare)
  • allergic rash (rare)

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 eyes, mouth and broken/irritated skin; rinse well if it gets into eyes. Stop use and seek medical advice if severe irritation, swelling, blistering or allergy occurs. Use with caution in very sensitive or inflamed scalp; do not use more often than advised. If symptoms persist or recur frequently, consult a dermatologist.

Do not take Scalpe + 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 systemic drug interactions expected with topical shampoo use. If using other medicated scalp products (topical steroids, salicylic acid, coal tar), use as directed by a doctor to avoid irritation.

How to store Scalpe + Shampoo

Store below 25°C, protected from light and moisture. Keep cap tightly closed and out of reach of children.

Expert advice for Scalpe + 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.
