About Ketomac 2% Dandruff Treatment Shampoo, 110 ml

Ketomac 2% Dandruff Treatment Shampoo, 110 ml 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.

Ketomac 2% Dandruff Treatment Shampoo, 110 ml contains Ketoconazole, which works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival. Thus, it kills fungi and yeast.

Description

Ketomac 2% Dandruff Treatment Shampoo, 110 ml is a medicated anti-dandruff solution formulated to treat stubborn dandruff and scalp conditions caused by fungal infections. Unlike regular cosmetic shampoos, it is designed to address the root cause of dandruff, providing therapeutic relief and long-term control. The key active ingredient is ketoconazole (2% w/v), a powerful antifungal agent that works by damaging the fungal cell membrane, effectively stopping the growth of dandruff-causing microorganisms. This makes it highly effective in managing conditions such as dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and other fungal scalp infections. This shampoo helps reduce flakes, itching, redness, and irritation, promoting a healthier and cleaner scalp with regular use. It not only treats visible dandruff but also prevents recurrence when used as directed.

Health Queries

I have a persistent dandruff problem on my scalp. I have already tried several shampoos, including Candid TV and Ketomac, but the dandruff is not going away. What could be the cause, and how can I effectively treat it?

Persistent dandruff may be caused by a fungal infection, seborrheic dermatitis, or other underlying scalp conditions. Make sure you are using medicated shampoos like Candid TV or Ketomac exactly as directed, and avoid excessive oiling or harsh hair products. Sometimes, dandruff does not improve with over-the-counter shampoos, and in such cases, it is best to consult a dermatologist, who can prescribe stronger treatments or check for any scalp conditions that need special care.

I have a lot of dandruff. Can you suggest a medicated shampoo to help remove it?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

For heavy dandruff, you can use medicated shampoos containing ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide. Use the shampoo 2 to 3 times a week, leaving it on your scalp for a few minutes before rinsing, and keep your hair and scalp clean and dry. If dandruff does not improve after a few weeks, or you notice redness, pain, or heavy scaling, see a dermatologist for stronger treatment.

I have a severe dandruff issue that won't go away, and it is causing hair loss. What should I do?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Severe dandruff can irritate the scalp and lead to hair fall, but it is usually treatable. Use a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo (like ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione) 2 to 3 times a week and avoid heavy oiling of the scalp. Keep the scalp clean, do not scratch, and manage stress. If dandruff and hair loss continue despite treatment, consult a dermatologist.
