Introduction
AL Ketocer Shampoo is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need, as it will not clear your condition faster and may only increase the side effects. Make sure not to leave it on the scalp for more than 5 minutes. If it gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse it with water. AL Ketocer Shampoo is usually safe, however, it may cause burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and self-limiting. Serious side effects are rare. It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way AL Ketocer Shampoo works, but talk to your doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine for dandruff.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I use AL Ketocer Shampoo as directed by my doctor?
AL Ketocer Shampoo can be used for the duration prescribed by your doctor. To use, apply the shampoo to the scalp, leave it on for 1-2 minutes, massage gently, and then rinse thoroughly.
Will regular use of AL Ketocer Shampoo lead to hair loss?
No, AL Ketocer Shampoo does not cause hair fall. In fact, using a medicated shampoo like AL Ketocer regularly can help reduce dandruff and the chances of hair loss associated with it.
What should I disclose to my doctor before using AL Ketocer Shampoo?
Before starting treatment with AL Ketocer Shampoo, inform your doctor if you have a history of allergies or are allergic to any medications.
How long should I leave AL Ketocer Shampoo on my scalp to avoid irritation?
To avoid irritation or burning sensations, do not leave AL Ketocer Shampoo in contact with your hair or skin for more than the recommended duration.
Can having dandruff cause baldness?
No, dandruff itself will not lead to baldness. However, if left untreated and causing significant scalp itchiness, excessive scratching can potentially lead to hair loss due to trauma, but this is reversible once proper treatment is received.
Will using AL Ketocer Shampoo exacerbate dry and brittle hair?
AL Ketocer Shampoo is specifically designed for treating dandruff on the scalp and not for use as a regular shampoo. To minimize potential impact on your hair, apply the shampoo only to the affected area, leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and follow with your usual shampoo and conditioner routine.
Can stress trigger or exacerbate dandruff?
While stress itself is not a direct cause of dandruff, it can contribute to other scalp conditions that may manifest as dandruff.
