How to use Anti-Dandruff shampoo?

Many patients do not benefit from medicated shampoos simply because they are not used properly. Here’s the correct method:

Choose the Right Shampoo: Look for shampoos containing ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or coal tar.
Application Method:
- Apply shampoo directly to the scalp (not starnds) after wetting the hair.
- Leave it on for 3–5 minutes to allow active ingredients to work.
- Massage your scalp to gently dislodge sticky flakes with fingertips.
- Rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed.
Frequency:
- Use 2–3 times per week initially.
- Reduce frequency once a week dandruff is controlled.
