Medicinal Benefits:

Saldan Shampoo is primarily used to treat dandruff and dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin on the scalp). Saldan Shampoo is composed of two medicines: Ketoconazole (antifungal) and salicylic acid (keratoplastic). Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that works by preventing the growth of dandruff-causing fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Salicylic acid belongs to a class of drugs known as keratoplastics (thickens the keratin layers). It works by removing dead cells from the skin’s top layer and slowing down skin cells' growth. This effect decreases scaling and dryness, thus relieving itching and cracking related to dandruff.

Saldan Shampoo is for topical (for skin) use only. Do not apply Saldan Shampoo on mucous membranes, lesions or large areas of skin. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water.

Dandruff can be caused by several things. One of the main causes is that the oil produced by the scalp makes the dead skin cells clump together and produce white flakes. Dandruff flakes are dead skin cells that easily fall off the scalp. Dandruff can be caused by dry skin, yeast-like fungus or other skin illnesses like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis or eczema.

If you're using Saldan Shampoo and your symptoms improve or disappear, don't stop using it without consulting your doctor. Completing the entire treatment course as prescribed by your doctor is essential to effectively treating your condition. Continue taking Saldan Shampoo for the recommended duration, even if you feel better. Stopping too soon can lead to a rebound effect or the infection returning. However, seek medical attention promptly if you experience any persistent or severe side effects.

Do not apply Saldan Shampoo to your face unless your doctor has specifically prescribed it for a facial skin condition.
