What is Xampu KZ Anti Dandruff Shampoo used for?

Treatment and control of dandruff (pityriasis capitis) and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp; helps in fungal-associated scalp scaling and itching.

How Xampu KZ Anti Dandruff Shampoo Works

Ketoconazole is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits fungal ergosterol synthesis, damaging the fungal cell membrane. This reduces Malassezia growth on the scalp and relieves flaking, itching and inflammation associated with dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis.

Dosage & Directions

For external use on scalp. Wet hair/scalp, apply sufficient quantity, lather and leave on for about 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Common use is 2 times a week for 2–4 weeks, then once weekly or as advised. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse with water if it occurs.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
