Acvaketo S Shampoo is a combination of two medicines: Ketoconazole and Salicylic Acid which treat dandruff. Ketoconazole is an antifungal. It works by stopping the growth of dandruff-causing fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which helps break down the skin clumps on scalp and relieves itching and flaking associated with dandruff.

Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use. Leave the shampoo on for three to five minutes before rinsing. Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. Stop using Acvaketo S Shampoo and inform your doctor if you notice any irritation or any other skin infection. Your usual shampoo can be used as necessary between treatment with this medicine.
