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. Kepozig 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.

Frequently asked questions
How often can I use Kepozig Shampoo?
The recommended duration for using Kepozig Shampoo is as instructed by your doctor. Apply to the scalp and leave for 1-2 minutes, massage thoroughly, then rinse well.
Can Kepozig Shampoo lead to hair loss?
Kepozig Shampoo does not cause hair loss. Regular use of the shampoo may help reduce dandruff and decrease the risk of hair loss, as it is specifically designed for scalp health.
Are there any precautions I need to take before using Kepozig Shampoo?
Before using Kepozig Shampoo, inform your doctor if you have allergies or are sensitive to medication.
How long should I leave Kepozig Shampoo on my scalp?
Do not exceed the recommended duration of contact with Kepozig Shampoo. Leaving it in for longer than the specified time may lead to irritation or burning sensations.
Will using Kepozig Shampoo cause me to go bald?
Dandruff itself does not cause hair loss, and it will not result in baldness. If dandruff is severe and leads to excessive itching on the scalp, scratching can potentially damage hair shafts and lead to temporary shedding, which would be followed by regrowth of healthy hair.
My hair feels dry and brittle, will Kepozig Shampoo make it worse?
Kepozig Shampoo is a scalp treatment designed for dandruff control. It is not formulated to alter the texture or condition of your hair. You may use Kepozig as a scalp treatment only, massaging for 10 minutes, rinsing well, and following with regular shampoo and conditioner.
Can stress worsen my dandruff?
While not a direct cause, stress can trigger other scalp conditions, including dandruff.
