How Scalpe Shampoo works

Shampoos for dandruff/scalp flaking work by cleansing excess oil and debris and, if medicated, reducing scalp fungal load and inflammation. The exact mechanism depends on the active ingredients in the specific Scalpe Shampoo variant.

How to take Scalpe Shampoo

Wet hair and scalp, apply sufficient quantity, massage into scalp, leave on for 2–5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Use as directed by doctor/label (often 2–3 times weekly for dandruff, then maintenance as needed). Avoid contact with eyes; rinse with water if it occurs.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
