Introduction
Ketomaster 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. Ketomaster 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 Ketomaster 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 Ketomaster Shampoo.

Quick Tips
Leave the shampoo on for three to five minutes before rinsing. Take care to avoid getting Ketomaster Shampoo in your eyes. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth, or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. Stop using Ketomaster Shampoo and inform your doctor if you notice any irritation or any other skin infection.

Inform your doctor if you have a history of allergies or are allergic to any medicines before use.
