Kzop CT Shampoo

Introduction

Kzop CT Shampoo is a medicated shampoo that contains two active ingredients: Ketoconazole and Coal Tar. It is primarily used for the treatment of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis of the scalp.

Uses

Kzop CT Shampoo is prescribed to help alleviate the symptoms associated with dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and scalp psoriasis. These conditions can cause itching, flaking, redness, and irritation of the scalp. By targeting the underlying causes of these conditions, Kzop CT Shampoo helps to reduce scalp inflammation, control excessive oil production, and promote a healthier scalp environment.

Dosage and Administration

To use Kzop CT Shampoo, wet your hair and scalp thoroughly. Apply a sufficient amount of shampoo to the affected area and massage gently to create a lather. Leave the shampoo on for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing it off completely. It is recommended to use Kzop CT Shampoo twice a week for the first 2 to 4 weeks, and then as needed to maintain the desired results.

Mechanism of Action

Kzop CT Shampoo works through the combined action of its active ingredients, Ketoconazole and Coal Tar. Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that helps to control the growth of fungi that can contribute to dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Coal Tar, on the other hand, has anti-inflammatory properties that help to soothe and calm the scalp, reducing redness and itching.

Side Effects

Common side effects include mild scalp irritation, dryness, or increased hair loss. These side effects are usually temporary and should subside with continued use. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional. Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
