Introduction
Ketoleaf 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. Ketoleaf 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 Ketoleaf Shampoo works, but talk to your doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine for dandruff. The medicine is not recommended for pregnant women. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using Ketoleaf Shampoo.

Frequently asked questions
How often can I use Ketoleaf Shampoo?
Use Ketoleaf Shampoo as directed by your doctor. When using the product, apply it to your scalp, leave for 1-2 minutes, massage thoroughly, and then rinse well.
Does Ketoleaf Shampoo lead to hair loss?
No, regular use of Ketoleaf Shampoo will not cause hair fall. In fact, it can help reduce dandruff, which may contribute to hair loss if left untreated.
What should I inform my doctor before using Ketoleaf Shampoo?
Before starting treatment with Ketoleaf Shampoo, be sure to disclose any history of allergies or previous allergic reactions to medications.
How long should I leave the shampoo on my scalp?
To avoid irritation, do not leave Ketoleaf Shampoo in contact with your hair or skin for longer than recommended. This may lead to an unpleasant burning sensation.
Will dandruff cause baldness?
Dandruff itself will not result in baldness. However, if the condition is severe and causes significant itching, excessive scratching can potentially lead to hair loss due to scalp trauma. If you experience increased hair fall, consult your doctor.
Can I use Ketoleaf Shampoo on dry and brittle hair?
Ketoleaf Shampoo is intended for treating dandruff on the scalp, not for addressing hair health. To minimize potential damage, consider using it as a scalp treatment only. Apply the shampoo, let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and follow up with regular shampoo and conditioner.
Can stress cause dandruff?
While stress may not be a direct trigger for dandruff, it can contribute to various scalp conditions, including dandruff, by exacerbating existing issues.
