How It Works

Dandruff is often caused by an overgrowth of a naturally occurring fungus on the scalp called Malassezia. Ketoconazole works by disrupting the cell membrane of this fungus, stopping it from growing and reducing the flaking, itching, and irritation associated with dandruff.

⸻

Directions for Use

For treatment of dandruff, apply the shampoo to wet hair and scalp, lather, leave for 3–5 minutes, then rinse off. Use twice a week for 2–4 weeks. For prevention of dandruff, use once every 1–2 weeks. This shampoo is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over. It is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Interactions

When used as a shampoo, ketoconazole is absorbed into the body only in very small amounts, so significant drug interactions are unlikely with topical use. However, if you are using any other scalp or hair treatments at the same time, check that they are suitable to use alongside this shampoo. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.

⸻

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

When used topically as a shampoo, systemic absorption of ketoconazole is minimal. However, as a precaution, avoid prolonged or excessive use during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.

⸻

Alcohol

There is no known interaction between topical ketoconazole shampoo and alcohol. This product is applied to the scalp and not taken by mouth, so alcohol consumption is not expected to affect how this medicine works.

⸻

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is applied topically to the scalp and is not expected to affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. It does not cause drowsiness or impair alertness.
