✅ What Ketocip 2% Shampoo Is Used For

Ketocip 2% Shampoo is a broad-spectrum antifungal medicated shampoo used to treat fungal infections of the scalp. It is especially effective for conditions such as:

• Dandruff (caused by fungal overgrowth)

• Seborrheic dermatitis – red, itchy, flaky scalp

• Fungal scalp infections

• Flaking, scaling, itching, and inflammation of the scalp caused by harmful fungi or yeast (commonly Malassezia).

It helps restore scalp health by eliminating the fungus that causes dandruff and irritation.

🧴 How Ketocip 2% Shampoo Works

Ketoconazole 2% works by:

• Damaging the cell membrane of fungi

• Preventing fungal growth and causing fungal death

• Reducing inflammation, itching, flaking, and redness

• Controlling fungal overgrowth that causes persistent dandruff

This leads to smoother, healthier scalp skin and reduction of dandruff.

📦 How to Use Ketocip 2% Shampoo

1. Wet your hair and scalp thoroughly.
2. Apply sufficient shampoo to the scalp and massage gently.
3. Leave the lather on the scalp for 3–5 minutes (some doctors may recommend up to 10 minutes for severe dandruff).
4. Rinse thoroughly with water.

Frequency:

• Twice a week for 2–4 weeks (for active treatment).

• Once dandruff improves, use once a week or once every 2 weeks for maintenance (if advised by doctor).

• Do not overuse; this is a medicated product.

For external use only.

⚠️ Side Effects (Possible but Usually Mild)

Most people tolerate Ketocip well. Possible side effects include:

• Mild scalp irritation or redness

• Itching or burning sensation

• Dryness of scalp or hair

• Changes in hair texture (rough, brittle, dry)

• Temporary hair shedding in some individuals

If irritation becomes severe or symptoms do not improve after 3–4 weeks, medical advice is recommended.

⚠️ Precautions & Warnings

• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nose, and broken or irritated skin.

• Rinse thoroughly if shampoo accidentally enters the eyes.

• Do not use if you are allergic to Ketoconazole or any ingredient in the shampoo.

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use only on doctor’s advice.
