How KETOZN-SHAMPOO Works

Ketoconazole belongs to the azole class of antifungal medicines. It interferes with the production of ergosterol, an important component of fungal cell membranes.

By reducing ergosterol production, ketoconazole interferes with fungal growth and survival. This antifungal activity can help reduce fungal overgrowth associated with dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Regular use according to the product instructions can therefore help control flaking and associated scalp symptoms.

Common Side Effects of KETOZN-SHAMPOO

Most people tolerate ketoconazole shampoo well when used as directed. However, some people may experience local scalp or hair reactions, including:

• Dryness
• Itching
• Burning or stinging
• Redness
• Scalp irritation
• Changes in hair texture
• Increased or decreased hair oiliness
• Temporary discomfort at the application site

If significant irritation, swelling, severe burning or an allergic reaction develops, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
