About Danclear Shampoo

Danclear Shampoo belongs to a class of dermatological medication called 'antifungal' primarily used to prevent fungal infections of the skin like seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears). Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of dandruff that causes an itchy rash with dry, flaky scales on the skin that contains oil glands, such as the scalp, face, back, and upper chest.

Fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Danclear Shampoo works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi, thereby slowing the growth of dandruff on the scalp.

Use Danclear Shampoo as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend you how often you take Danclear Shampoo based on your medical condition. Some people may experience itching, redness, irritation or 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.

Avoid contact of Danclear Shampoo with nose, ears, mouth or eyes. If Danclear Shampoo accidentally comes into contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly. If you are known to be allergic to Danclear 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 Danclear Shampoo. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Danclear Shampoo catches fire and burns easily. If you are using any steroidal cream, lotion or ointment, inform your doctor before taking Danclear Shampoo. Do not swallow Danclear Shampoo. In case of accidental swallowing, contact a nearby poison control centre or consult a doctor immediately.
