About Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo
Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo is an antifungal medication primarily used to treat seborrhoeic dermatitis (a fungal infection of the scalp characterised by dandruff, flaking, redness, and itching).
Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo contains Ciclopirox and Zinc pyrithione, which work together to stop the growth of fungi, reduce inflammation, and slow excess skin cell production on the scalp. As a result, Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo helps clear the fungal infection and reduce dandruff, flaking, and irritation.

In some cases, Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo may cause side effects, including itching, irritation, or a burning sensation at the site of application.

Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo is primarily used to treat seborrhoeic dermatitis (a fungal infection of the scalp characterised by dandruff, flaking, redness, and itching).
Yes, fungal infection is a contagious skin condition that spreads from one person to another through direct skin-to-skin contact or by contact with contaminated soil or surfaces and infected animals. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid close direct contact until the infection is clear and to avoid sharing things with the infected person, as it can also spread the infection.
No, you are not recommended to stop using this medicine without consulting your doctor, as it may cause recurring infection. Therefore, take Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, and if you experience any difficulty while using it, please consult your doctor.
Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo may cause a change in colour in a few patients, but not everyone experiences the side effects.
No, Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo is not recommended to treat acne as it may worsen the condition. Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo is only used to reduce itching, swelling and redness caused by certain skin infections. However, please consult a doctor before using Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo .
Yes, you can use Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo regularly when it is directed by your doctor based on the severity of your condition. Usually, it is used 2 times a week with at least 3 days interval. Regular use helps manage symptoms effectively. However, if you experience any irritation or itching effects, consult your doctor.
Before using Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo , inform your doctor if you have any allergies, especially to its active ingredients. Let your doctor know if you are using any other topical treatments, such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or acne medications, as these can interact with Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo . Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Although hair fall is not a typical side effect of Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo , it's essential to monitor your scalp health. Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo is primarily used to treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. If you experience unusual hair loss or have concerns about hair fall, consult your healthcare provider or dermatologist for personalised advice.
Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo is generally gentle on hair, even for dry and brittle hair. When treating dandruff, apply it directly to the scalp to avoid hair contact. Pair it with a gentle, moisturising shampoo and conditioner to preserve hair health. If you notice increased dryness or brittleness, consult your doctor for personalised advice.
For best results, leave Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo on your scalp for about 3-5 minutes before rinsing it off. This allows the medication to work effectively. Always follow the instructions for specific guidance. Consult a skin doctor if you have any further questions.
Dandruff itself does not directly cause baldness. However, severe or untreated dandruff can lead to scalp irritation, inflammation, and scratching, which might weaken hair follicles over time. This can contribute to temporary hair loss. If you're experiencing significant dandruff or hair loss, it is best to consult a dermatologist to address the underlying causes and get appropriate treatment.
Stress does not directly cause dandruff, but it can worsen symptoms by weakening your immune system, allowing scalp fungus to grow and triggering irritation. Relaxation, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle may help you get rid of dandruff.
The common side effects of the Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo are itching, redness, irritation, and a burning sensation at the site of application. However, these symptoms vanish as your body adjusts to the medication. If these symptoms become worse, please consult a doctor for relief.
Shake the bottle well before use. Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo is for use on scalp and hair only. Wet your scalp and hair, then apply Pilo-Akt AD Shampoo to make enough lather. Leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes before thoroughly rinsing with water. Avoid contact with your eyes; if accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
