FAQs

Saldan Shampoo is primarily used to treat dandruff and control seborrheic dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin on the scalp).
No, you are not advised to stop using Saldan Shampoo without consulting your doctor, because it may lead to recurring infections. Therefore, use Saldan Shampoo as prescribed, and if you experience any difficulty using it, please consult your doctor.
Saldan Shampoo is composed of two medicines: Ketoconazole (antifungal) and salicylic acid (keratolytic agent). Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that works by preventing the growth of dandruff-causing fungi by blocking their ability to form a protective covering. Salicylic acid belongs to a class of drugs known as keratoplastics, which work by removing dead cells from the skin's top layer and slowing down skin cell growth. This effect reduces scaling and dryness, thereby relieving itching and cracking associated with dandruff.
Oily hair and scalp, poor diet, certain illnesses like Parkinson's disease, and frequent contact with extreme heat and cold are the factors that increase the chances of having dandruff.
Saldan Shampoo is for topical (for skin) use only. Do not apply Saldan Shampoo on mucous membranes, lesions or large areas of skin. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water.
Dandruff can be caused by several things. One of the main causes is that scalp oil clumps dead skin cells and causes white flakes. Dandruff flakes are dead skin cells that easily fall off the scalp. Dandruff can be caused by dry skin, a yeast-like fungus, or other skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, or eczema.
If you're using Saldan Shampoo and your symptoms improve or disappear, don't stop using it without consulting your doctor. Completing the entire treatment course as prescribed by your doctor is essential to effectively treating your condition. Continue taking Saldan Shampoo for the recommended duration, even if you feel better. Stopping too soon can lead to a rebound effect or the infection returning. However, seek medical attention promptly if you experience any persistent or severe side effects.
Do not apply Saldan Shampoo to your face unless your doctor has specifically prescribed it for a facial skin condition. Your face's skin is sensitive, and using the lotion without guidance can cause irritation, redness, burning, dryness, or allergic reactions. Always consult your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional before using the lotion on your face.
Common side effects of Saldan Shampoo include reactions at the application site, such as warmth, burning sensation, skin irritation, itching, and redness. In most cases, these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, it's important to contact your doctor for further guidance and advice.
