Ketoconazole shampoo is one of the medications that pharmacists can prescribe to treat dandruff on the scalp. Ketoconazole shampoo is available in pharmacies at a 2% concentration. It's considered an antifungal medication. Therefore, some of you may ask about the relationship between fungi and dandruff. ππ
The answer is that fungi are believed to be one of the causes of dandruff or a factor that increases its occurrence. The evidence for this is:
β When dandruff is treated with an antifungal medication, it heals and disappears.
β The second piece of evidence is that dandruff is more prevalent in the winter, when people often wear hats on their heads, making the hair humid and hot, which is a favorable environment for fungal growth.
Ketoconazole shampoo is used to treat dandruff. It is applied to the hair and left on for 3 to 5 minutes, then washed twice a week for 2-4 weeks. Once the dandruff is under control, it can be used once a week. Ketoconazole shampoo can be prescribed during pregnancy because it is safe and does not cause any side effects on the mother or fetus.
