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. I Ket 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 I Ket Shampoo works, but talk to your doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine for dandruff.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use I Ket Shampoo regularly?
You can use I Ket Shampoo as directed by your doctor. Apply to the scalp and leave for 1-2 minutes, massage, and rinse thoroughly.
Can I Ket Shampoo cause hair fall?
I Ket Shampoo does not directly cause hair fall. Using it regularly can help reduce dandruff and potentially minimize the chances of hair loss by treating scalp conditions. However, if you experience sudden or excessive hair loss, consult your doctor.
What should I inform my doctor before using I Ket Shampoo?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any history of allergies or known sensitivities to medications before using I Ket Shampoo.
How long should I leave I Ket Shampoo on my scalp?
Avoid leaving I Ket Shampoo on your hair or skin for longer than the recommended duration as this may cause irritation, dryness, or burning.
Will I go bald if I have dandruff?
Dandruff itself will not lead to baldness. If you experience severe dandruff with itching, scratching can lead to hair loss due to trauma. However, hair will eventually grow back. Consult your doctor for persistent hair loss.
My hair is dry and brittle, will I Ket Shampoo damage my hair more?
I Ket Shampoo is intended for scalp treatment and does not directly target hair health. You may use the shampoo as a scalp treatment only by leaving it on your scalp for 10 minutes before rinsing. Follow with regular shampoo and conditioner.
Can stress cause dandruff?
While not a direct cause, stress can trigger different scalp conditions, including dandruff.
