Description

Scalpe Plus Anti Dandruff Shampoo is formulated for scalp cleansing and contains ketoconazole with zinc pyrithione in a conditioning shampoo base. The formulation includes ketoconazole IP, zinc pyrithione, conditioning shampoo base and supporting ingredients that help support scalp care and cleansing during regular use. The liquid texture lathers easily and spreads evenly through wet hair. The shampoo comes in a 150 ml bottle designed for convenient regular use.

Features

 

  • Medicated anti-dandruff shampoo
  • Contains ketoconazole IP 2% w/v
  • Contains zinc pyrithione 1% w/v
  • Conditioning shampoo base
  • Smooth liquid texture
  • Easy-pour bottle
  • Suitable for regular use

Key Benefits

  • Targets Root Cause of Fungal Infection: The formulation utilises 2% ketoconazole, a potent broad-spectrum antifungal agent that directly attacks and eliminates Malassezia furfur, the primary yeast responsible for dandruff and scalp inflammation.
  • Provides Immediate Flaky Scalp Treatment: Enhanced with Zinc Pyrithione (ZPTO), this formula actively reduces the hyperproliferation of skin cells, helping to clear away visible white flakes and preventing them from shedding onto your shoulders.
  • Fast-Acting Itchy Scalp Solution: By regulating scalp microflora and lowering fungal loads, this shampoo rapidly reduces localised inflammation, offering instant dandruff relief and calming persistent, uncomfortable itching after the first few washes.
  • Helps Prevent Dandruff Recurrence: Unlike cosmetic shampoos that only wash away surface flakes, this targeted formula deposits active ingredients into the scalp, creating an environment that inhibits future fungal growth and ensures long-term scalp care.
  • Manages Severe Seborrhoeic Dermatitis Effectively: Clinically trusted to manage the redness, scaling, and severe irritation associated with seborrhoeic dermatitis, making it an essential part of a medically guided scalp care routine.
  • Conditions to Reduce Hair Fall Due to Dandruff: Severe dandruff clogs follicles and weakens hair roots, leading to shedding. This shampoo contains an advanced conditioning base that not only prevents hair from drying out but helps reduce hair fall due to dandruff by restoring a healthy scalp barrier.

Health Queries

I am 18 years old and losing about 40 to 50 hair strands daily. Will this lead to baldness, and what can I do to prevent it?

Chandrakanta Jena

Losing around 40 to 50 hair strands daily is usually considered normal because it is part of the natural hair growth cycle. Daily hair shedding does not always mean you will become bald. Baldness usually occurs when there is excessive hair loss, thinning of hair, or a genetic tendency, such as male-pattern hair loss. To maintain healthy hair, eat a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, and avoid crash diets. Be gentle when washing and drying your hair, avoid excessive use of heat-styling products, and manage stress. Keep your scalp clean and treat conditions like dandruff or itching if present. If you notice increased hair fall, visible thinning, a receding hairline, bald patches, or a family history of early baldness, consult a dermatologist who can identify the cause and recommend appropriate treatments if needed.

I am getting white flakes or white skin coming from my scalp, and it keeps falling from my head, sometimes with itching and dryness too. What could this scalp problem be, and what shampoo may help control it better?

White flakes coming from the scalp along with itching and dryness are most commonly due to dandruff or a condition called seborrheic dermatitis, where the scalp becomes irritated because of excess oil, yeast growth, or sensitivity of the skin. It can also get worse with stress, weather changes, irregular washing, or using harsh hair products. The flakes may look like dry skin falling off, and itching usually comes and goes depending on how active the condition is. For control, medicated anti-dandruff shampoos usually help better than normal shampoos. Ingredients like ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide are commonly used because they reduce the yeast and calm scalp inflammation. These shampoos work best when used consistently and kept on the scalp for a few minutes before rinsing. On other days, a mild, gentle shampoo can help keep the scalp clean without over-drying it. Avoid scratching and avoid heavy oiling, because both can sometimes make dandruff worse in sensitive scalps. If flakes and itching keep returning despite regular use of medicated shampoos, or if there is redness or hair fall, it is better to get checked by a dermatologist for stronger or combination treatment.

I have been suffering from dandruff for the past 5 to 6 years, and now I also have a dandruff-like fungal infection in my beard area, and even after trying many medicines and home remedies, the problem still keeps coming back. Which treatments or medicines are usually effective for controlling this condition and reducing it long-term?

Veda Maddala

When dandruff has been present for many years and starts affecting areas like the beard, it often points to a chronic condition such as seborrheic dermatitis, where a naturally present yeast on the skin becomes overactive. This can cause repeated flaking, itching, redness, and patchy irritation, especially in oily areas like the scalp, beard, eyebrows, and sides of the nose. Because it is long-term in nature, symptoms often improve with treatment but tend to return if maintenance is not continued. Management usually works best with a combination approach. Medicated antifungal shampoos for the scalp and antifungal washes or creams for the beard area are commonly used to reduce yeast buildup. In more persistent cases, short courses of oral antifungal medicines may be needed after proper medical evaluation. Along with treatment, regular gentle cleansing, avoiding heavy oils on affected areas, and keeping the skin dry can significantly reduce recurrence. Scratching or frequent product switching can worsen irritation and make the cycle harder to break. Since it has been recurring for 5-6 years and spreading to the beard, a dermatologist review is important to confirm the diagnosis and create a long-term maintenance plan, because chronic cases often need ongoing control rather than one-time treatment.

I have dandruff on my scalp along with heavy hair fall, and I am worried it may become worse if ignored. What treatment, shampoo, or care can help me control both dandruff and hair loss now?

Veda Maddala

Dandruff, along with hair fall, usually happens when the scalp becomes oily, irritated, or has mild fungal overgrowth, and this ongoing inflammation can weaken hair roots and increase shedding. Stress, seasonal changes, irregular washing, or using harsh hair products can also make the condition worse and more persistent over time. To manage it, a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide can help reduce flakes and calm scalp irritation. It is best used a few times a week and kept on the scalp for a few minutes before rinsing. On other days, a mild shampoo is better so the scalp does not become too dry. Avoid leaving oil on the scalp for long periods, as it can sometimes worsen dandruff in sensitive scalps. Along with this, keeping a balanced diet, good sleep, and reducing stress can support hair health and slow down hair fall. Hair recovery is gradual, so consistency is important. If hair fall is heavy, patchy, or continues despite controlling dandruff, a dermatologist review is needed to check for other causes and adjust treatment accordingly.

FAQs

To get the most out of your Scalpe Plus Anti Dandruff Shampoo 150 ml, wet your scalp completely, apply the shampoo, and massage it into a rich lather. It is absolutely essential to leave the lather on your scalp for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing. This waiting period allows the ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione to actively fight the underlying fungal infection and provide effective flaky-scalp treatment.
No, it is not recommended to use this medicated shampoo daily. Because it contains potent clinical actives (2% Ketoconazole and 1% ZPTO), daily use may lead to unnecessary scalp dryness. The ideal dosage is 2 to 3 times a week for the first four weeks to treat active dandruff. Afterward, you can reduce usage to once a week to prevent dandruff recurrence.
Unlike many older-generation medicated anti-dandruff treatments that strip the hair of its natural oils, this specific Scalpe hair shampoo is formulated with an advanced, built-in conditioning base. While it aggressively targets the root cause of dandruff and clears the scalp, the conditioning agents ensure your hair strands remain soft, manageable, and hydrated after the wash.
Yes, it can significantly help. Severe dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis clog hair follicles and cause intense itching. The constant scratching and scalp inflammation physically damage hair roots, leading to excessive hair shedding. By providing a fast, itchy scalp solution and clearing the fungal infection, this shampoo restores scalp health, thereby effectively reducing hair fall caused directly by dandruff.
Regular cosmetic anti-dandruff shampoos primarily focus on washing away visible, superficial flakes for temporary relief. In contrast, Scalpe Plus is an expert-recommended, medicated formula containing 2% Ketoconazole and 1% ZPTO. It goes beyond the surface to eradicate Malassezia (the fungus causing dandruff), offering a true clinical cure for seborrhoeic dermatitis rather than just a cosmetic cover-up.
Most users begin to experience a noticeable itchy scalp solution and a reduction in visible flakes after just 2 to 3 washes. However, for complete eradication of the fungal infection and stabilisation of the scalp's microbiome, you should complete the full 4-week regimen as directed (using the shampoo 2-3 times per week).
While the shampoo includes a conditioning base, medicated products containing ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione can sometimes cause premature fading of artificial hair colours or affect chemical treatments. If you have recently coloured, bleached, or chemically straightened your hair, it is highly advisable to consult your dermatologist or hair care professional before starting treatment.
Yes, absolutely. Even though the Scalpe Plus formula contains a built-in conditioning base,individuals with naturally dry, curly, or frizzy hair might require extra moisture. You can safely apply your regular, cosmetically preferred conditioner to the lengths and ends of your hair after rinsing out the shampoo. Just ensure you do not apply the conditioner directly to the scalp.
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition, meaning it naturally has periods of flare-ups and remission. While there is no absolute "permanent cure", Scalpe Plus is one of the most effective management tools available. Regular maintenance use (e.g., once a week after the initial 4-week active treatment phase) is highly effective at keeping flare-ups, scaling, and itching permanently at bay.
Scalpe Plus is dermatologically tested and generally well-tolerated. However, a small percentage of users with highly sensitive skin might experience mild, temporary side effects such as slight scalp dryness, localised burning, or a mild change in hair texture. If you experience severe redness, intense burning, or signs of an allergic reaction (like swelling), discontinue use immediately and consult a physician.
