Nizoral Dandruff Shampoo is used to treat and prevent dandruff caused by the yeast Malassezia. It helps relieve flaking, itching and scalp irritation while tackling the underlying cause of dandruff.

Nizoral contains ketoconazole 2%, an antifungal medicine that works by reducing the growth of the yeast responsible for many cases of dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Wet your hair and scalp, apply a small amount of shampoo and work it into a lather. Leave it on the scalp for 3–5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Follow the dosing schedule in the patient information leaflet.

For treatment of dandruff, Nizoral is typically used twice a week for 2–4 weeks. To help prevent dandruff from returning, it may then be used once every 1–2 weeks or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Many people notice an improvement in itching and flaking within a few weeks of regular use. Continue the full treatment course for the best results.
