About 8X-KT Shampoo

8X-KT Shampoo belongs to a class of dermatological medication called 'antifungal,' primarily used to treat dandruff, localised tinea versicolor of the scalp, and seborrheic dermatitis. Dandruff is a mild scalp condition that causes white or yellow flakes and itching, usually due to excess oil, fungal overgrowth, or sensitivity to hair products. Seborrheic dermatitis is a more severe form that can affect other oily areas like the face, ears, and chest, leading to red, inflamed skin with greasy, yellowish scales.

8X-KT Shampoo contains Ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione. Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that disrupts the fungal cell membrane, preventing the growth of dandruff-causing fungi, while zinc pyrithione is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that inhibits fungal and bacterial growth, reducing scalp irritation and flaking. Their combined action helps control scalp infections, reduce inflammation, and restore scalp health.

Use 8X-KT Shampoo exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to use 8X-KT Shampoo based on your medical condition. Some people may experience itching, redness, irritation, or a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects 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 known to be allergic to 8X-KT Shampoo or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using 8X-KT Shampoo. Avoid contact of 8X-KT Shampoo with the nose, ears, mouth, or eyes.
