Tarry Shine Lotion 100 ml is used for treatment of Dandruff.
Medically reviewed by Dr. Balaji Krishnan, MBBS · Updated September 2026
Tarry Shine Lotion 100 ml contains Ketoconazole (2% w/v) + Coal Tar (2% w/v). It belongs to the Antifungal and Hair growth stimulant / anti-dandruff agent class of medicines.
Treatment of Dandruff
TARRY Shine Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Ketoconazole and Coal Tar 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. Coal Tar 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 TARRY Shine 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.
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. It can cause a fall in blood pressure and a racing heart when far too much is applied to the skin. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Most side effects of Tarry Shine 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.

Keep applying for the full period your doctor stated, usually two to four weeks, and for a week or two after the rash has cleared. Stopping when it looks better is why ringworm keeps coming back. Apply a little beyond the visible edge of the patch — the fungus extends further than the redness. Do not use a combination cream containing a steroid on a fungal infection unless a doctor has specifically prescribed it. The steroid calms the redness while the fungus spreads underneath. See a doctor if the rash covers a large area, involves the scalp or nails, or has not improved in two weeks — these usually need tablets as well. Topical minoxidil causes a burst of shedding in the first two to eight weeks. This is the old hair making way for new — it is expected, not a failure. Results take three to six months, and stop when you stop. This is a continuing treatment, not a cure. Finasteride must not be handled or taken by anyone who is pregnant or could become pregnant — it causes birth defects. Do not let a pregnant person handle broken or crushed tablets. Apply topical treatments to a dry scalp, not to hair, and wash your hands afterwards. Tell your doctor about any chest pain, dizziness, rapid heartbeat or sudden weight gain with minoxidil.
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. Not for use on inflamed, broken or sunburnt scalp.
No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin. Avoid applying other scalp products at the same time of day unless advised.
Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.
TARRY Shine Lotion must be applied on the affected area as prescribed by your doctor. Take care to avoid getting it in your eyes. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Before each application, wash the affected area with soap and water and dry well. Stop using TARRY Shine Lotion and inform your doctor if you notice any irritation or any other skin infection. Inform your doctor if the treated skin area does not improve after 2-4 weeks of treatment.
Medicines with the same active ingredient (Ketoconazole (2% w/v) + Coal Tar (2% w/v)). Ask your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands.
