About Arcolane 2% Scalp Solution

Arcolane 2% Scalp Solution is used to treat fungal infections of the skin like ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection.

Arcolane 2% Scalp Solution contains Ketoconazole, which works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival. Thus, it kills fungi and yeast.

Common side effects include dry skin, itching, redness or a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Arcolane 2% Scalp Solution do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to ketoconazole, inform your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Arcolane 2% Scalp Solution. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Arcolane 2% Scalp Solution may catch fire and burn easily. If you are using any steroidal cream, lotion or ointment, inform your doctor before using Arcolane 2% Scalp Solution to adjust the dose.

Health Queries

I have severe scalp itching, dandruff, and hair loss. Is it safe and effective to use Arcolane scalp solution for this condition?

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Yes, Arcolane Scalp Solution can be helpful for severe dandruff and scalp itching. It contains ketoconazole, an antifungal medicine that helps treat conditions like Dandruff and Seborrheic Dermatitis by reducing the fungus on the scalp that causes itching, flakes, and irritation. However, while it can reduce dandruff and scalp inflammation, it may not directly treat hair loss unless the hair fall is caused by dandruff or scalp infection. If hair loss continues or the itching is severe, consulting a dermatologist is recommended to identify the exact cause and get proper treatment.
