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